In an exciting turn of events at the Pakistan Super League (PSL) players' draft for the ninth season, Peshawar Zalmi made a strategic move by securing the services of Afghan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq in the gold category. This marks a significant addition to their squad, as Naveen becomes the second Afghan player to be drafted, joining the ranks of Asif Ali in the Diamond category and Noor Ahmad in Platinum.
The 24-year-old fast-bowler, formerly associated with Quetta Gladiators, showcased his skills in four matches, contributing both with the ball and bat. In his last appearance against Multan Sultans on March 11, 2023, Naveen not only displayed his bowling prowess by taking four wickets but also showcased his batting ability, scoring a brisk 17 runs from just seven balls at an impressive strike rate of 242.8, remaining unbeaten.
Peshawar Zalmi's decision to pick Naveen-ul-Haq reflects their focus on building a well-rounded team for the upcoming season. With his promising all-round capabilities, Naveen adds depth and versatility to the squad, setting the stage for an exciting season of PSL cricket.
