PSL 9: Fakhar Zaman reveals his batting position for Lahore Qalandars

Pakistan opening batter, Fakhar Zaman, has disclosed his batting position preference ahead of the upcoming ninth edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL).

While talking to media in Lahore on Sunday, Fakhar expressed his willingness to contribute in any capacity for his team, however he emphasized his desire to open the innings for his PSL team.

"I am prepared to bat at any position, but my preference is to open in the PSL," Fakhar said.

Fakhar further emphasized the difference between the Pakistan national team and the PSL.

"The dynamics within the Pakistan team are different; there we have players from all across the country. You cannot compare Pakistan team with the PSL franchise," he further added.

It is worth noting that in 2023, Qalandars claimed a historic feat when it became the first team in HBL PSL history to successfully defend their title, securing their second HBL PSL trophy with a victory over Multan Sultans.
