Latif suggests possible changes in Kings’ lineup ahead of Qalandars clash

Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Rashid Latif wants Karachi Kings to tweak their lineup ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final against Lahore Qalandars.

Latif believes that South African batsman Cameron Delport will be a good addition in the side.

“I think Karachi should make a few changes. [Cameron] Delport should play as he scored around 60 runs in his last PSL match against Quetta Gladiators although Karachi lost that match. He has also scored a century while playing for Islamabad United in the past. He is a disciplined player and a match-winner,” said Latif while speaking on his official YouTube channel ‘Caught Behind’.

The former Pakistan captain also suggested that Mohammad Rizwan can be slotted in the XI in place of Chadwick Walton.

“Karachi can drop [Chadwick] Walton for [Mohammad] Rizwan as well,” he said. “Wayne Parnell and [Sherfane] Rutherford are also the options which could be under consideration when it comes to changes.”

He was also wary of Qalandars’ batsmen dominating Kings’ spinners and especially captain Imad Wasim.

“In terms of spinners, I think Hafeez will easily dominate Imad [Wasim] and Iftikhar [Ahmed]. Also, it will be difficult for Imad to bowl against Tamim Iqbal, Ben Dunk and Fakhar Zaman,” he said. “They can also try Usama Mir but I won’t go for Umer Khan because they already have a left-arm spinner in Imad.”
