PESHAWAR ZALMI SQUAD PSL 2024. Yup, here you will know about the Peshawar Zalmi players with performances capital is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the providence of Pakistan. The word Zalmi stands for youth- the part of the country where exuberance among people is irrepressible.

The PSL 9 Schedule 2024 is updated. The PSL 9 Live Streaming is available on our website.

The concept of endothermy is long extinct, and the blood running down is boiling. Peshawar was far from cricket in the past, but now this team has changed, and they have made a career on the cricket field. Its home on the ground is Arbaz Niaz Stadium, which was revealed in 2015.

Peshawar Zalmi PSL 9 Schedule

Peshawar is going to start its campaign against Quetta Gladiators on 18 February in Gaddafi Stadium. Following this, they will play only one match at Multan Cricket Stadium. This is a bit of a bummer. Peshawar Zalmis should have gotten some matches in their home ground.

The Zalmis will play their last league-stage match in Karachi against Karachi Kings. This match will be played on 11 March 2024.

Peshawar Zalmi will get 4 matches in Lahore, 1 match in Multan, 4 matches in Rawalpindi, and 1 match in Karachi.

OWNER OF PESHAWAR ZALMI

The owner of Peshawar Zalmi is Javed Afridi, the CEO of Haier Pakistan. Now we discuss the team players of Peshawar Zalmi as given below.

CAPTAIN OF PESHAWAR ZALMI

The captain of Peshawar Zalmi is Babar Azam.

Babar Azam’s role as a batsman is no joke. He is the guy you want in your team if you want to score more and have a stable batting line-up. Babar is the leading runscorer of PSL, with more than 2000 runs, averaging more than 40.

But are these numbers enough to show how good of a captain he is? Let’s talk about his captaincy in the PSL franchise.

He has been the captain of the Karachi Kings from 2020-2023. He led the team in 11 matches, in which Karachi won only one game. As a PSL franchise captain, he has been a complete failure. But can we blame it all on him?

Cricket is a team game; previous games had been bad for the Karachi Kings. Can we say that it was all Babar’s fault?

Looking internationally, Babar has led Pakistan’s T20 side in 66 matches. Out of these, the team won 40 games and lost 21. The rest didn’t have a result.

This makes him number 5 in the all-time best T20 captains list in history, he has played the most matches as a skipper!

We can safely assume that Babar will be a fortune for Peshawar Zalmi if the team plays as a whole.

COACH OF PESHAWAR ZALMI

Darren Sammy is the head coach.

BATSMAN OF PESHAWAR ZALMI SQUAD

In the batsman of Peshawar Zalmi, 7 players are used, and their names
are given below:

1. Babar Azam
2. Rovman Powell
3. Saim Ayub
4. Tom Kohler Cadmore
5. Asif Ali
6. Mohammad Haris
7. Haseebullah Khan

The batting for this team is absolutely bomb. Can you imagine these domestic cricket giants playing in a single unit? The matches are going to be entertaining. With Harris as an opener and Tom in the middle order, you can expect sixes all over the innings.

This batting lineup seems to be a mix of domestic and international talent. Babar Azam takes centre stage, of course. However, seeing him as a skipper after the entire World Cup debacle will be interesting. Will this affect his performance as a batsman as well?

Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris are among the emerging superstars in Pakistan cricket. And Peshawar Zalmi is lucky to get their hands on these two batters. Haris is their brand ambassador. However, Saim is the emerging star that everyone will have their eyes on. He had a tremendous domestic season this time.

TKC was the batter that caused havoc for the opposing bowlers in the previous season. Of course, having him this year strengthens Peshawar’s batting lineup.

Haseeb and Powell are strong batters on their own, but the X factor that will score some quick runs for the Zalmis is Asif Ali. Asif made a lot of runs for the United. The great Dean Jones held him in high regard as a player who is dedicated to the game. With him on their side, the Khpal team will hit some huge sixers.

BOWLERS OF PESHAWAR ZALMI

In the bowlers of Peshawar Zalmi Squad, 9 players are used, and their names
are given below:

1. Noor Ahmad
2. Naveen-ul-Haq
3. Khurram Shahzad
4. Salman Irshad
5. Arif Yaqoob
6. Umair Afridi
7. Mohammad Zeeshan
8. Mehran Mumtaz
9. Lungi Ngidi
10. Shamar joseph
11. Sufyan Muqeem
12. Arshad Iqbal

This is some variety in the bowling department. While Khurram, Noor, Naveen, and Lungi will not be part of the Zalmis as anticipated, they have replacements that can help them out. Arshad Iqbal is back in the squad, while Shamar Joseph is their best pick.

They have Sufyan Muqeem instead of Noor Ahmad. And this is the best decision. This way, the local talent will get the necessary exposure.

ALL-ROUNDERS OF PESHAWAR ZALMI

Peshawar Zalmi players have all-rounders who can be placed whenever time and demand are available. Their names are given below:

1. Amer Jamal
2. Daniel Mousley

There aren’t many all-rounders in the Zalmi camp. But they make it up with a strong batting and bowling lineup. However, these players aren’t anything to cough at.

However, Aamer Jamal is one of the best all-rounders playing for Pakistan. Aamer might not have impressive numbers right now. But he has improved a lot in recent times. Considering their recent stint in first-class cricket, Aamer will emerge as Pakistan’s best all-rounder. These things are pretty good for Peshawar Zalmi. The youngster’s exposure in the Australia tour will greatly help the Zalmis.

OVERSEAS PLAYERS OF PESHAWAR ZALMI

In overseas players of Peshawar Zalmi, 6 players are used. Their names are given below:

1. Rovman Powell
2. Noor Ahmad
3. Tom Kohler Cadmore
4. Naveen-ul-Haq
5. Daniel Mousley
6. Lungi Ngidi
7. Shamar Joseph
8. Aimal Khan

Let’s look at Peshawar’s international players for this season. Rovman Powell will provide the batting depth to the Zalmis. Remember that they have been struggling with the batting ever since Kamran Akmal and Tamim Iqbal left. Kamran Akmal is PSL’s second-best run scorer after Zalmi’s current skipper.

TKC will do the same thing he did for the team last year. His explosive batting style will help the Zalmis achieve higher scores.

Coming towards the Afghanistan players, Noor Ahmad and Naveen will increase the bowling strength of the team. You can say Peshawar has their version of Rashid Khan in the shape of Noor Ahmad.

Daniel Mousely, England’s young batting allrounder, will look forward to scoring high runs for the team so that he can attract the selector’s attention.

PROGRESS OF THE PESHAWAR ZALMI TEAM

The Peshawar Zalmi team performed well in previous PSL sessions.  So Peshawar Zalmi played 34 matches in 3 PSL editions, winning 17 and losing 14. Their overall percentage is 57.57%, and they got 3rd position in PSL. Visit our website for the Latest PSL Updates, Live Streaming Point table, and day-to-day updates.

PESHAWAR ZALMI ANNOUNCES GYM ARMOUR AS OFFICIAL ATHLESUIRE WEAR PARTNER

It was the brand’s creativity and imagination that caught the attention of the team management. This partnership will last for a year as PZ thinks Gym Armour’s values and mindset align with theirs, making it fun to work with them. This announcement was made with a sneak peek of the team’s kit for PSL 8, with captain Babar Azam adorning the equipment in a trailer.

Haier Continues to be the title sponsor for The Zalmis.

Haier Pakistan and Peshawar Zalmi have agreed on PSL Season 9, which will begin in February 2024.

After the MOU signing at the Haier Brand Conference on January 4th in Pearl Continental Hotel, Lahore, Haier Pakistan is once again poised to be the Official Primary Sponsor of Peshawar Zalmi for the 8th Round of HBL PSL.

Haier Pakistan and Peshawar Zalmi are entering their sixth year of collaboration, and this arrangement is among the country’s most significant sports corporate sponsorships.

The two were a part of several significant humanitarian endeavours, like Haier 100 Pitches, in which cricket grounds were constructed on a war-torn territory to stimulate and renew the emotion of sports in terrorism-affected regions.

By previously supporting the Pakistan Hockey Team in the World Cup, the company has paved the way for the national sport, demonstrating Haier’s aim of encouraging games in the country.

Haier has committed to continue sponsoring initiatives to promote sports and individuals who ought to be recognized, just as the PSL continues to capture hearts and delight cricket fans worldwide.

Peshawar Zalmi kit for HBL PSL 9

13 February 2024

Peshawar Zalmi, a well-known Pakistan Super League (PSL) side, has unveiled their new match-day jersey for the ninth season of Pakistan’s premier T20 event. Let’s get a deeper look at this fantastic news.

The new jersey design honours the city of Peshawar, where the team is from. Its colours and patterns reflect the city’s vibrant culture and personality.

The back of the shirt has the name and number of Babar Azam. This demonstrates that he is still the skipper of the Zalmi squad for the following season.

Before the formal announcement, Peshawar Zalmi supporters were intrigued by a message on the team’s social media platforms.

They were thrilled to find out what it was about and how the new shirt will appear. Finally, after much anticipation, Peshawar Zalmi unveiled their new match-day kit for PSL 9.

This eliminated the anticipation and provided spectators with an excellent peek at what their squad would wear during games.

The new jersey honours Peshawar’s tradition while also including some modern elements. It demonstrates how the team is adapting to changing circumstances while remaining true to its roots.

Fans see the new tee as more than simply something to wear. It represents pride and belonging to their team. Wearing Peshawar Zalmi’s colours pulls supporters together and makes them happy to support their club.

Fly high with Peshawar Zalmi

12 February 2024

Peshawar Zalmi has signed some more partnerships to make sure the Khpal team gets more and more support from the business sector, making the team one of the biggest teams in HBL PSL 9.

They have signed an MoU with FlyJinnah as their Official Airline Partner. Now, the Zalmis will fly high with FlyJinnah.

PZ signs more partnerships

11 February 2024

It is hard to spread your brand awareness and increase your brand’s value without having a proper presence online and in the print media. That is why, Peshawar Zalmi has signed some more partnerships to spread brand awareness.

For this purpose, they have signed HamariWeb as their official website partners. Whereas they have signed Kasoti as their regional news partners. With this move, Peshawar Zalmi will ensure that its name is spread to the masses and the franchise can have much more fanbase and support.

Aimal Khan joins the party

10 February 2024

The Zalmis have finally decided to announce the replacement for Naveen-ul-Haq. The Afghan fast bowler was partially available for HBL PSL 9 due to his commitments with the national side. However, Peshawar had yet to decide on his replacement. Now, they have replaced him with the young fast bowler from KPK, Aimal Khan. This is a homecoming for the young pacer.

The Zalmis announce their training kit

6 February 2024

The Zalmis have announced their training kit for this season of HBL PSL. The blue colour suits well, especially to the skipper, Babar Azam. The fans can also buy this training jersey from Peshawar Zalmi’s merchandise store. It can cost you up to 2500 PKR.

ABD praises Peshawar Zalmi captain

2 February 2024

Babar Azam hosted an X space recently, and it went viral. In this space, Babar had an interactive session with the fans, answered their questions directly, and opened up about a lot of things.

When asked about who his favourite batsman is, he said that he would have loved to bad alongside AB de Villiars.

It seems like the legend was listening to all of this. He posted in the replies, “I would have loved to bat with you too.”

This is huge for any cricketer these days, since ABD has been an inspiration to a lot of youngsters.

Come on ABD, you can still make it happen by playing for the Zalmis <3

Regional Partner (TV) for Peshawar Zalmi

1 February 2024

Peshawar Zalmi has signed a partnership with AVT Khyber for regional coverage of HBL PSL 9. This way, the Pushto-speaking fandom will get all the news in their local language. It shows that PSL is about inclusivity, collaborating with the local partners and spreading PSL to all the nook and crannies of Pakistan.

Shamar preparing for HBL PSL 9

31 January 2024

Shamar Joseph has broken the internet with his 7-wicket haul against the Aussies. However, he got injured due to Starc’s toe-crusher. Hence, he had to opt-out of the ILT20. But this gives him enough time to recover and rehab for the upcoming PSL 9. There are also talks about RCB picking him as a replacement of Tom Curran.

Peshawar Zalmi replacement draft picks

29 January 2024

Peshawar Zalmi had quite a lot of changes to make in the team. Let’s see their replacement draft picks.

Khurram has been replaced by Arshad, which is a good decision since Arshad is a potent fast bowler as well. Arshad proved himself in the Emerging Asia Cup last year, but it was surprising to see him get picked. Now this is a better decision

Shamar Joseph is another great pick. I would call him the pick of the draft this time. The Zalmis have done well.

Let’s see their 3rd and 4th supplementary picks.

Sufyan Muqeem is another great decision from the Zalmi management. It was a given when Noor Ahmad wasn’t available full-time. The team has to make sure this young lad plays his fair share of matches.

Will Khurram be available for HBL PSL 9?

28 January 2024

Khuram got injured in the Test series against Australia, and this is a huge blow for the Zalmis. He is an in-form bowler. But now, the team has to look for his replacement tomorrow. This is not the only player that has been possibly ruled out of HBL PSL. Lungi Ngidi, Noor Ahmad, and Naveen are on this list already. Khurram’s injury might take months to recover from, and this creates room for the Zalmis to select more players in tomorrow’s replacement draft.

Big blow to the team

27 January 2024

Three-star players, Lungi Ngidi, Noor Ahmad, and Naveen will not be able to participate in the Zalmis this season. Ngidi is not getting NOC from his board, while the Afghan players are facing similar issues. This is bad for the team combination. The franchise has to look for their replacements on 29 January.

Peshawar Zalmi signs MoU with Dawn

13 January 2024

PZ has signed a MoU with Dawn as their official media partner. And they have done it for the 8th time in a row. Yes, Dawn has been their partners for the past 7 PSL seasons. This means you will see all the latest news from Peshawar Zalmi from Dawn and its related media accounts. It also means we will start seeing more frequent news and updates from the Zalmi camp. Are you ready to follow your favourite team in this season as well? If yes, turn on the notifications from us. We will tell you all before anyone else!

Babar Azam demoted

12 January 2024

Babar Azam, Pakistan’s former skipper, will bat down the order rather than number 2 or 3. Previously, he was either opening for the team or coming one down. However, the team management has decided it is time to test different batting combinations before the T20 World Cup begins. Shaheen Afridi has made it clear that it is all for testing out different players. Hence, Babar will bat at number 3 or 4 during this match. However, Peshawar Zalmi’s young batting talent, Saim Ayub, will get the chance to open with Mohammad Rizwan. Whatever happens, it is a win-win situation for the Zalmis.

Aamer Jamal Handing over the receipts

4 January 2024

To all of those people who were saying that Aamer Jamal is not the right fit for Pakistan and he isn’t even a proper allrounder because of mediocre stats, how are you? Aamer Jamal is handing over the receipts to everyone who doubted his ability as an all-rounder. Not only has he proved himself as a bowler, he has also saved Pakistan in the third test of the series.

Pakistan was in a sticky situation. The early wickets caused a lot of problems. However, Mohammad Rizwan set the stage where we could put a decent score on the board. And Aamer Jamal seized this opportunity. He had already picked up a 6-fer in the series. But this was a time to prove himself as a batter.

Aamer scored 82 runs in 97 balls, making Pakistan stronger in the first innings. Pakistan scored 313 runs in the first innings, all thanks to Rizwan and Aamer.

On the second day, Aamer’s job wasn’t over. He 8 overs and conceded 26 runs. However, he took the vital wicket of Usman Khawaja. The rain has stopped the play, so we must wait to see what Aamer does next.

However, it is performances like these that show the diamond that Pakistan wasn’t utilizing until now.

Babar should take a chill pill

2 January 2024

Mushtaq Ahmad has compared Babar to Virat. Want to know how? Well, he stated that Babar is going through a rough patch. And he should rest to recollect his thoughts, just like Virat did when he was going through bad form. Mushtaq argued that this is a common practice across the world. You rest a player when you think he is disturbed or going through some issues. Let’s see if Babar heeds to these words or not.

Zalmi’s e-learning partner

27 December 2023

Peshawar Zalmi has signed with eCademy as their e-learning partners for this season. Ecademy is a platform developed by Mir Mohammad Ali Khan to equip Pakistani youth with the latest information via different courses.

This time, Zalmi and eCademy have launched a scholarship opportunity. Zalmi Foundation has partnered with Ecademy to help you study and grow in today’s rapidly changing digital environment. Take advantage of this fantastic chance to obtain new information and skills to prepare yourself for a prosperous future.

Making it to the U-19s

24 December 2023

PCB has recently announced the squad for the U19 Cricket World Cup 2024. And Peshawar Zalmi is proud to announce that their emerging category pick, Mohammad Zeeshan, has been selected for the squad. The 17-year-old pace bowler hails from Faisalabad and was picked by the Zalmis in the recent draft. And it seems this was the right choice by Mohammad Akram and Co. Zeeshan is a fantastic upcoming fast bowler who can rattle the wickets with his pace and swing.

The young pacer is yet to make a PSL debut. However, the recent performances show that he will definitely be an emerging player for the Zalmis this season. Here are the last 4 matches he has played for the Pakistan U-19s team.

4 Zalmi stars included in the national T20 team

19 December 2023

Wahab Riaz and Kamran Akmal, the National selectors and former Zalmi players, have announced the T20 squad against the T20I series against the Black Caps. The interesting part is that four Zalmi players have made it into the team. Babar Azam, Saim Ayub, Aamer Jamal, and Haseebullah have earned the spot. Mohammad Haris could have been a part as well. However, Wahab cited different reasons to rest him for this series.

Let’s see how the Khpal team players do against the Kiwis.

Emerging players showing their worth

18 December 2023

During a recent match in the President’s Trophy, Zalmi’s emerging player, Haseebullah, scored 102 runs in 135 deliveries. This was a quick knock, considering that it was a First Class match. This century included 7 fours and 1 sixer. The stunning performance from Haseebullah shows that the Zalmis didn’t make a mistake while picking him in the emerging category.

Zalmi stars take 8 wickets in Australia Test

15 December 2023

The Zalmi fast bowlers, Amer Jamal and Khurram Shahzad have made their debut against Australia in the first Test of the series. Aamer Jamal picked up 6 wickets, while Khurram picked up 2 wickets. This is a dream debut for the, especially for Aamer Jamal. He bowled 20.2 overs and picked 6 wickets. Although he was expensive and his economy rate was 5.45, this was a good job done considering that Pakistan team management had to work with him for a while to develop him into a complete test bowler. The same goes for Khurram.

Peshawar Zalmi picks for HBL PSL 9

14 December 2023

Peshawar Zalmi didn’t have Javed Afridi’s good looks in the draft this time. However, they had their brand ambassador, Mohammed Haris, the coach, and Mohammad Akram with them. Haris was quite optimistic about the picks. He said he solved their “new ball dilemma” with Naveen’s presence in the team. On Noor Ahmad’s inclusion, he said they wanted someone to fill in for the middleovers. Noor is the best choice in that spot. When asked about Asif Ali, he said they needed a local lad to hit the ball hard at number 5 or 6.

Here are their picks for this season’s draft.

Peshawar Zalmis partner with Ufone

13 December 2023

Just before the draft, Zalmis announced that the franchise and Ufone had formed an official partnership for PSL 9. One of the biggest connectivity companies in Pakistan, Ufone, has now joined hands with PZ for HBL PSL 9. Ufone and PZ formed the official partnership in a dynamic reveal on X, aiming for the powerplay of connectivity and cricket. It must be noted that their title sponsor is Hiaer.

PSL highest scorer gets retained

9 December 2023

PSL 9 retentions are out, and the Zalmis are excited to announce that they have retained Babr Azam. Babar is the top scorer in the history of PSL. They welcomed him again with a video posted on their social media. The video was a compilation of all of his strokes so far. It was such a treat.

Jumping on the trends

6 December 2023

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz around GTA VI. People worldwide love that game and are excited about its release. Peshawar Zalmi has jumped on this excitement and created graphics, painting the skipper Babar Azam as a GTA character. I musts say, he looks very cool in the Yellow Storm touch in the GTA style.

See it for yourselves.

This year, the drafts will be held on 13 December 2023. And it seems like the team will storm into the drafts to unlock many achievements. They couldn’t bag Naseem Shah earlier in the trade war.
