Mohammad Hafeez, who went unpicked in the players’ draft last December, is expected to be a hot commodity in the replacement draft. He has represented the Peshawar Zalmi and Lahore Qalandars during the last seven seasons and has accumulated 1596 runs in 71 matches, making him the fourth highest run-scorer in the league so far.
The replacement draft is an opportunity for teams to fill any gaps in their roster caused by players who are unavailable due to national duty or injury. The supplementary category also allows teams to add depth to their squad and potentially find hidden gems among the available players.
The PSL is one of the most popular T20 cricket leagues in the world, featuring some of the top players from around the globe. The upcoming season promises to be exciting, with the replacement draft adding an extra layer of intrigue as teams vie to build the strongest roster possible.
