Peshawar Zalmi Team Roster

Headed by Captain Babar Azam himself, Peshawar Zalmi's squad for PSL 10 features a powerful blend of experienced players and emerging youngsters. With the bat, they are supported by stylish and aggressive strokemakers like Battles, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, and Saim Ayub. Wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Haris opens the innings with an aggressive approach, while Abdul Samad, along with Najibullah Zadran towards the middle order, provides him with firepower hitting.

They also have strong options in all-rounders. South African George Linde is accompanied by Pakistan’s Hussain Talat, who both add strength and cover with their bat and bowling. The South Africa’s industry includes steam Alzarri Joseph, Mohammad Ali, and spinners Sufyan Muqeem, Arif Yaqoob, and Mehran Mumtaz. The international bowlers Luke Wood and Ahmed Danyal bring more strength to the pace attack, and adding depth makes Peshawar Zalmi a balanced unit that can adjust to almost any pitch or match conditions.
