Quetta Gladiators PSL 11 Squad Analysis
The management has made the few bold choices in the retention and auction process in which it has laid emphasis on wicket-taking options.
Most expensive player: The enigma spinger Abrar Ahmed had been retained as the franchisee most preferred player at Rs. 7.00 Crore, indicating that the spider web of Ahmed will be the central strategy of the team.
Direct Signing: The Gladiators made use of the direct signing card to attract the Australian left-arm pacer Spencer Johnson at a huge Rs. 6.44 Crore. His speed and spring will be vital with Pakistani tones.
The Comeback of Rossouw: PSL regular and crowd favorite Rilee Rossouw (South Africa) was auctioned off at Rs. 5.55 Crore, which would bring a lot of strength to the batting department.
All-Round Depth: England’s Tom Curran (Rs. 4.20 Crore) is a depth player both in terms of batting and death bowling.
Steal of the Draft: To the surprise, the classy left-hander Saud Shakeel was stolen at a comparatively low price of Rs. 65 Lac, which is probably the steal of the season.
