Here are the updated squads for PSL 2023

As the ongoing season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) shifts to Punjab, a number of changes have been made to the squads for various reasons.

First, England cricketer Adam Rossington has replaced fellow countryman James Vince for Karachi Kings.

Moreover, Afghanistan’s Najibullah Zadran has replaced England’s Jason Roy and Afghanistan’s Qais Ahmed has been confirmed as Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga’s replacement in Quetta Gladiators’ squad.

Vince and Roy have left for Bangladesh to join the England squad and will rejoin Quetta and Karachi on March 7.

Sri Lanka’s Dasun Shanaka, who was playing for Peshawar Zalmi, has also left for international commitments.

Additionally, Quetta Gladiators have drafted Yasir Khan as their supplementary pick.

It must be noted that the closing ceremony and final of PSL 8 will be played on March 19 in Lahore, which will also host play-offs.

The winner will not only lift the Supernova Trophy but will also collect a cheque of Rs120m, while the runners-up will receive a cheque of Rs48m.

Lahore Qalandars will attempt to become the first side to win back-to-back titles; meanwhile Islamabad United will aim to become the most successful side by lifting the trophy thrice.
