The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday confirmed the latest player replacements ahead of the 10th edition of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL), bringing changes to the squads of Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United while reserving picks for other franchises.
Peshawar Zalmi has signed South African all-rounder George Linde as a full replacement for Corbin Bosch in the Diamond category for the upcoming season.
Linde was reportedly considering skipping the PSL to join Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) but has now committed to Zalmi for the tournament.
Meanwhile, Islamabad United has secured Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey as a partial replacement for Rassie van der Dussen in the Supplementary category.
In the online replacement draft held on Monday, Peshawar Zalmi also reserved a replacement pick in the Gold category for Nahid Rana.
Similarly, Karachi Kings has opted to reserve its pick for Bangladeshi batter Litton Das, who was originally selected in the Silver category.
The draft also saw replacement slots reserved for New Zealand duo Mark Chapman and Kane Williamson—picked in the Platinum and Supplementary categories, respectively—by Quetta Gladiators and Karachi Kings.
The highly anticipated 10th edition of PSL will commence on April 11, 2025, with defending champions Islamabad United facing two-time winners Lahore Qalandars at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
