00:00The excitement of PSL has started. Today is a very important day because all the teams are completing their squad.

00:08Players draft as we speak is going on.

00:11And this is the 10th season of HBL PSL.

00:16The most exciting player for this PSL season 10 was David Warner.

00:22He will be seen in action for the first time in PSL.

00:25And Karachi King has grabbed him in his Platinum pick.

00:30Let me tell you about the current situation.

00:34In Platinum, Karachi players start with Karachi.

00:38David Warner, Adam Mills and Abbas Afridi have been picked with Wild Cards.

00:44In Diamond, Karachi King has picked Khushdil Shah.

00:47Hassan Ali and James Vince were already retained.

00:51In Gold, Aamir Jamal has been picked.

00:54Shahan Masood and Irfan Khan Niazi were already retained in this category.

00:59These are the big names that the teams have picked.

01:05In my opinion, Lahore Kalander's Platinum pick, Daryl Mitchell was also a great pick.

01:12We will talk about this later.

01:14Kamran Akmal is with us.

01:16Kamran, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.

01:18Assalam-o-Alaikum. Thank you, Najeeb.

01:21Kamran, I am very excited.

01:23A draft is something where you think about the core of the team.

01:28And which players are being added and which direction is it going in.

01:32This time, we can see that all-rounders are very active in HBL-PSL.

01:37Every team has done a lot of work.

01:43There is a lot of utility for the cricketers.

01:47This time, I am very happy that the top players,

01:53who have made the name of our neighboring country, IPL,

01:58with their performance and presence,

02:01have come to play in PSL.

02:04I think this is a good sign for Pakistan's cricket.

02:07With such players, our youngsters and Pakistan's players will share the dressing room.

02:12Maybe our youngsters will get some confidence.

02:15So, this is a good sign for Pakistan's cricket.

02:19And the way they have picked up the platinum, like Warner,

02:23I think this is a very good sign.

02:25Karachi also needed openers.

02:27And they were not able to fill their box for 2-3 years.

02:32I think they filled it.

02:34So, I think because of this player's arrival,

02:37Karachi will get good support and will see good performance.

02:41Absolutely right.

02:42Our sports correspondent, Mr. Shahid Hashmi, has joined us.

02:46As Kamran said, some new big faces have been added.

02:50Because of which our youngsters will get a lot of benefit.

02:53They will learn a lot.

02:55And this league will also level up.

02:59What do you think about this?

03:01Absolutely right.

03:03Senior and experienced players will come to play in PSL.

03:06Our youngsters will get a chance to learn.

03:09If you look at Karachi's stars,

03:11all the youngsters India has developed in IPL,

03:14it is because of them that international stars like

03:16Eddie Devalier, Stephen Smith, David Warner, Ricky Ponting,

03:20brought such players to play and coaching staff.

03:24So, their youngsters got a chance to learn a lot.

03:27And this will be the 10th season.

03:29For sure, the 10th season should be so good and so beneficial

03:33that our cricket team, especially P20 cricket,

03:36will get a lot of benefits.

03:38David Warner and Tim Seifert's opening pair

03:41will be great for Karachi Kings.

03:43And I also liked Abbas Afridi's return to Karachi Kings.

03:47Did you take him on a wild card?

03:49Karachi Kings wanted Abbas to come back.

03:53Absolutely.

03:55I think he played for Karachi Kings in the 7th season.

03:58He was new.

03:59He played in the U19 World Cup.

04:01At that time, he was not that effective.

04:04He had 4-5 wickets in 4 matches.

04:07But the way he played for Multan Sultan in the last 2 seasons,

04:11especially in the season when Ehsanullah Goke

04:14had less than 1 wicket.

04:16He had 23 wickets and Ehsanullah had 22 wickets.

04:18So, Multan Sultan was the runner-up.

04:20So, he did a very good job in that season.

04:23And now that he has played for Pakistan,

04:25he has shown intent that he can beat everyone.

04:27So, Abbas Afridi's addition has been a great thing for Karachi Kings.
