PSL season 7, Shahid Afridi to be joining Quetta Gladiators?

PSL

Nadeem Omar owner of Quetta Gladiator stated that Shahid Afridi told him that he will be joining his franchise of PSL on the 7th season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Omer stated that “Shahid Afridi has also remained a part of the Galle Gladiators (a team which Omar owns as well) in the Lankan Premier League,”

Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed is the current captain, according to Omar, but if he willingly steps down, “we can appoint Afridi in his place.”

Omar added, “In technique, Sarfaraz is number one,”

Quetta Gladiators’ hopes of winning a second PSL title were dashed last month when they were eliminated from the competition by Multan Sultans.

The performance of the team of Sarfaraz Ahmed was not good in the 6th season of PSL. The team only wins 2 matches out of 10.
