Pakistani fast bowler Ihsanullah has again been in the news—not for a blistering spell on the field, but for a photo that’s gone viral. The viral photograph, where he is wearing a Peshawar Zalmi jersey, has triggered a flood of rumours regarding a possible move before Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10.
A Comeback Story Still Being Written
Ihsanullah became an overnight sensation in PSL 2023 with an astonishing 22-wicket tally for Multan Sultans and emerged as one of the tournament’s unexpected stars. This effort accelerated his promotion to the national team, and he got his T20I debut in March 2023 and later an ODI debut in the following month. Unfortunately, the elbow injury against New Zealand forced him out for a long while.
Returning from a long layoff, he resumed competitive cricket during the 2024 Champions T20 Cup. However, the Multan Sultans decided not to retain or draft him during the PSL 10 draft. Dejected, Ihsanullah went on record with his retirement from the PSL—only to take it back hours later. He subsequently apologised to the Sultans for his hasty decision and assured them of his availability if needed in the future.
Zalmi Jersey Goes Viral
Now, with PSL 10 just around the corner, Ihsanullah has sparked fresh buzz by appearing in a Peshawar Zalmi jersey. Though no official statement has come from Zalmi’s management, sources suggest he has joined their training camp.
What gives more strength to the speculations is that Zalmi had kept a Gold category position vacant in the recent replacement draft, suggesting late-season additions. Ihsanullah, if formally signed, could occupy that place as a replacement for Nahid Rana.

Social Media Reacts
Supporters were quick to take sides on social media, with some embracing the fast bowler’s arrival in Zalmi and others condemning the ambiguity regarding his status. Whatever, the excitement has revived interest in the new season.
With the PSL getting more and more player-centric by the day, instances such as these—sensational departures, heartfelt apologies, and shocking returns—are giving flavor to the league’s ever-increasing narrative. Regardless of whether Ihsanullah actually makes the move to Peshawar Zalmi or not, one thing’s certain: the pacer’s next chapter is being observed very closely.
