The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10-player draft got more exciting, with three prominent international players—Chris Lynn, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Jason Holder—officially entering the pool for this year’s competition.
Australia’s Chris Lynn remains one of the most explosive openers in world T20 cricket. Having previously represented Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans in the PSL, Lynn brings his powerful hitting ability and vast experience in franchise leagues around the globe to the PSL 10 draft. Known for his aggressive style and ability to clear the boundaries with ease, Lynn has been a key figure in T20 leagues like the Big Bash League (BBL), where he is one of the competition’s most sought-after players.
Chris Lynn’s PSL Stats:
| Matches | Innings | Not Outs | Runs | Highest Score | Batting Average | Balls Faced | Strike Rate | 50s | 100s | Fours | Sixes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 12 | 1 | 318 | 113* | 28.90 | 183 | 173.77 | 1 | 1 | 38 | 17 |
Afghanistan’s Mujeeb Ur Rahman, one of the finest spinners in world cricket, has also been added to the PSL 10-player draft. Mujeeb has previously failed to replicate his sensational form in PSL for the Peshawar Zalmi but remains one of the most sought-after talents in world cricket.
Mujeeb’s PSL Stats:
| Team | Matches | Innings | Balls Bowled | Runs Conceded | Wickets | Best Figures | Economy Rate | Bowling Average | Balls Bowled | Maiden Overs | Wides | No Balls |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PZ | 11 | 11 | 264 | 381 | 6 | 2/28 | 8.65 | 63.50 | 44.0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
West Indies’ Jason Holder, known for his calm leadership and all-round ability, has consistently performed across formats. Holder’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him one of the most complete all-rounders in the T20 game. This will be the West Indian’s first time entering the league.
Holder’s steady contributions with the ball, combined with his composure under pressure with the bat, provide immense value in the middle overs, whether in stabilizing an innings or finishing the game strong. His entrance to the PSL draft further strengthens the already-impressive pool of talent available for PSL 10.
