KARACHI: Current PSL champions Quetta Gladiators were greeted warmly by the fans in Quetta at a private mall during their meet and greet event with star player Ahmad Shahzad, Ahsan Ali, local player Abdul Nasir and team manager Azam Khan.
Opening batsman Shahzad, who played a vital role in Gladiators’ title-winning campaign, said that the love he got in Quetta was second to none.
“The reception we got when we came with PSL trophy to Quetta is the highlight of my career because I have never ever seen such love and warmth. Even today the reception we got is simply amazing and we have received massive motivation from you guys which will help us to defend the PSL title,” Shahzad told the charged up crowd.
“We’ve got a very balanced squad with match winners all around,” said Shahzad.
Abdul Nasir said that he was really excited to be part of the team and promised he would try to do well if given an opportunity.
“It’s a dream come true for me. I will be sharing the dressing with superstars like Shane Watson, Jason Roy, Ahmad Shahzad, Sarfaraz Ahmad, Umar Akmal, Sir Vivian Richards, Moin Khan and Abdur Razzaq,” Nasir said.
“Gladiators honoured my performances in their talent hunt and what I did in Ramzan tournaments while playing for shortlisted team of Quetta. My selection will certainly give hope to other players of Balochistan. If I can be drafted in PSL then they also have a future with Quetta Gladiators,” Nasir added.
