Wiese has been a mainstay in the LQ squad as he’s been a match-winner for the franchise on a consistent basis. Rassie on the other hand, represented Islamabad United in PSL-8, but now he’s been traded to LQ.
Wiese remained a permanent member of the South African squad, but he switched loyalties and has been playing for Namibia since 2021. The right-hand dominant all-rounder is known for his power-hitting skill as well as economical medium-fast overs.
Rassie is a consistent member of SA’s top order in limited-overs cricket. He averages over 52 in One-Day cricket, while his T20I average is a healthy 34.54.
On the negative side, Rassie will stay in Pakistan for the first half of the PSL event. After 6 matches, he will return to SA to play the domestic limited-overs tournament. He is centrally contracted by his country, which doesn’t allow the participation of such a player in a foreign league while the domestic league is ongoing.
Wiese is expected to stay in Pakistan for the entirety of the event.
