Ihsanullah Joins Peshawar Zalmi’s Training Camp

There’s a new twist in the PSL player movement drama—and it involves one of the league’s most exciting fast bowling prospects. Ihsanullah, the tearaway quick who was left out by Multan Sultans ahead of PSL X, has joined the Peshawar Zalmi camp in what could develop into one of the most talked-about storylines of the season.

While there’s no official confirmation yet on whether Peshawar Zalmi has any intention of picking Ihsanullah for the upcoming season or just using him as a net bowler, sources suggest the franchise is keeping its cards close to its chest—leaving fans guessing if Ihsanullah could end up as a late pick or an emergency option.

The latest development is just another twist in what has been a turbulent few months for the pacer. Having shot to prominence with Multan Sultans in previous seasons, Ihsanullah was excluded from PSL X due to his injury battles. The snub even led to the bowler briefly announcing his retirement from PSL cricket altogether—a move driven more by emotion than intent.

Multan Sultans, for their part, are understood to be open to bringing him back into their setup in the future, with franchise officials still rating him highly despite his recent injury setbacks and inconsistent form.

But cricket moves fast, and so does Ihsanullah. Despite not being at his absolute best in recent domestic outings, the right-arm quick has shown enough glimpses of his pace to attract Zalmi’s attention. For a team always on the lookout for x-factor bowlers, Ihsanullah could present a risk worth taking.

Whether Peshawar Zalmi are simply offering him a platform to rebuild confidence in the nets—or lining him up for a shock inclusion as a squad pick—remains to be seen. What’s certain is that Ihsanullah’s journey in PSL X isn’t over yet.
