Who is in which team?
All the six teams participating in the Pakistan Super League have finalized their squads through drafts, but this time the big names are not appearing, a big reason being the busy season of international cricket.
Multan Sultans are the defending champion team of Pakistan Super League which won the title for the first time by defeating Peshawar Zalmi by 47 runs in the final last year. This time too the team will be led by wicketkeeper-batsman Muhammad Rizwan. Besides Rizwan, the management of Multan Sultans has retained Imran Tahir and Riley Russo, Khushdal Shah, Sohaib Maqsood, Shaun Masood and Shahnawaz Dhani of South Africa. This time he has also got Australian batsman Tim David and West Indies' Odin Smith and Roman Powell.
