• Karachi Kings skipper Imad Wasim highlighted skill level of PSL clubs.
• He also expressed his excitement ahead of PSL 2023.
• He is trying to make the best use of their first five matches at home.

The Karachi Kings skipper Imad Wasim highlighted the skill level of PSL clubs on Tuesday by stating that all sides possess some great talent and they will enter the event with various combinations and strengths. The eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is quickly approaching.

On the 44th episode of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) podcast, which was published today and also included Mohammad Rizwan and Shadab Khan, they are open and honest.

Wasim told his audience that “last year Karachi Kings were hampered with injuries, but for 2023 they have all bases covered with high-quality players who all are match-winners”.

“This year, every side is equally balanced and it is difficult to predict an outright winner. This clearly reflects how the PSL has evolved and why it has now become an extremely challenging and exciting league,” he added.

It should be mentioned that Wasim led the Karachi Kings to their lone PSL championship in 2020.

On February 13, the national T20 tournament is set to begin, including matches between Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars in Multan. On March 19, the festival will come to a close in Lahore.

On February 14, Peshawar Zalmi, captained by Babar Azam, will face off against Wasim’s Karachi in Karachi.

While expressing his excitement ahead of PSL 2023, he said “PSL is one of the best leagues in the world, which is very close to our hearts. We wait for this league for 10 months during which we prepare, plan and set goals”.

“Then, we enter into this great event to achieve our collective objectives and help our sides win, and this cycle continues”, the captain added.

The most important thing for us is to play T20 the way it should be played, which is with a good mindset and aggressive intent, he continued during the podcast.

The Karachi Kings skipper cited the fact that “we will have home matches” as one of the finest aspects of 2017 PSL. He continued, “therefore, we are trying to make the best use of our first five matches at home and generate the momentum that can carry us into the playoffs.”
