Lahore Qalandars, despite being one of the biggest franchises in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), has failed to yield the results in the first two editions of the league. Having finished last on the first two occasions, the chances to qualify for the playoffs this year seem very bleak too.
While it may still be early days to say anything about the outcome of the PSL for Qalandars, the familiar pattern is far too difficult for the fans to digest.
The owner of Qalandars, Rana Fawad would have expected more out of one of the costliest franchises of PSL – as evident from his reactions throughout the three seasons – but he hasn’t got the desired results.
Even then, the ever-smiling Rana has always been energetic, more eager to win than ever, and his high spirits may have let him down but the fans enjoy every moment of it.
Seeing him sad makes us all sad.

Fawad Rana definitely deserves better, and we hope that his team turns things around and make it to the qualifiers. A Lahore vs Karachi final is what Pakistanis would love to witness in Karachi.
They need to understand new guys like that Afridi are disaster when faced with class. They behave stupid in field and bat. Last match Suhail was on other end who could hit but stupid tail enders so called new sensations where trying to hit themselves. Atleast they need to bring back Amir Yamin to control the late order collapse. He is good all rounder. They are suffering from only one thing. i.e. late order collapse. But they do not seem to understand this. Bring Aamir Yameen back and kick Shaheen Afridi out. Then bring some other batsman in place of that Sohail Akhtar. Also no need of Agha Suleman when u already have 2 spinners. Bring batsman in place of Agha suleman. I think Lhr Qalander issue is team selection not anything else.
I’m sorry the way Umar Akmal got out was farcical. either hit it or defend it. He did neither. He has not adapted to new style t20
They need to play one emerging player, and you cannot bring in Aamer Yamin for Shaheen Afridi. He can be replaced by Ghulam Mudassar though who is a good, young fast bowler.
