ISLAMABAD
Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) Franchise Islamabad United’s Assistant Coach Saeed Ajmal on Friday said all rounder Shadab Khan will be available for league’s upcoming season.
Rumors have been circulating recently that Shadab Khan may not participate in the PSL 2023, as he had recently received a finger injury.
Shadab had suffered an injury during recently held Big Bash League (BBL) season.
On Friday, Ajmal emphasized the importance of Pakistan players participating in international leagues for their development and growth as cricketers.
“Due to Shadab Khan playing in Australia, his performance graph in the World Cup is high,” said Ajmal.
“Injuries can happen at any time and anywhere; Shadab Khan has been groomed by playing Big Bash League (BBL),” he maintained.
Ajmal also weighed in on the ongoing debate about the role of politics in Pakistan’s cricket board (PCB) and called for more consistency and stability in leadership.
“The change of chairman puts pressure on the players; the chairman who sleeps at night is finished in the morning,” said Saeed Ajmal.
He also expressed support for current Pakistan captain Babar Azam and suggested that he should be given more guidance and mentorship instead of replacing him.
