Shadab Khan sings PSL praises

Speaking about the upcoming season of PSL, Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan and the youngest captain across all franchises sang praises of the competition.

“It’s an honour for me to captain the two-time champions of PSL. I gained enough experience about captaincy during the last edition as well so I don’t feel the pressure of leadership.”

“I have played in many leagues around the world but standard wise I think PSL is the best especially because every team has bowlers who can bowl in excess of 140 kph, which is something that you don’t see in other leagues of the world.”
