The HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 5th edition is about to kick-off! For those who have not been paying attention, the draft had left many surprised by who teams let go and who they retained.
The most happening event took place in the Platinum category as Jason Roy was picked up by Quetta Gladiators, while Lahore Qalandars opted for Chris Lynn. Dale Steyn and Colin Ingram were chosen by Islamabad United, Alex Hales by Karachi Kings, and Multan Sultans went for Moeen Ali and Rileee Rossouw.
What’s interesting is that the PSL Draft order was decided on the basis of a popular method of deciding the order in single wicket tournaments across the country.
Without further ado, here are the squads for HBL PSL 2020:
