Pakistan all-format captain Babar Azam will play for Peshawar Zalmi in the season eight of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL).
The 28-year-old is traded to Zalmi for Kings in Platinum Category. The star player represented the Kings for six seasons.
Wasim Akram, president and bowling coach of Karachi Kings, has finally broken his silence on Babar Azam's exit from the franchise ahead of the PSL 2023 season
He said that it is quite normal in franchise cricket worldwide. Babar has replaced Wahab Riaz as Peshawar Zalmi’s captain.
“I think this happens in franchise cricket. We’ve seen this happen worldwide, where their main player walks away and somebody else comes in) So, as long as Babar is in PSL, it’ll be fun. It’ll be good games, competitive games," Wasim said on the sidelines of HBL PSL 8 Draft.
It must be noted that Babar didn't want to play for the Kings anymore, as per reports. Kings also had a disastrous season last year, where they won only one game out of ten.
