HBL PSL X Team of the Tournament revealed

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) unveiled the 12-member Team of the Tournament for the 10th edition of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL).

The squad, which was selected by members of the official commentary panel, showcases players who excelled in the tournament, held across four venues—Karachi, Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi—from April 11 to May 25.

The final saw Lahore Qalandars lifting their second PSL title in as many years with a six-wicket victory over Quetta Gladiators at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium.

The honour of leading the Team of the Tournament goes to Lahore Qalandars captain, Shaheen Shah Afridi.

The left-arm pacer not only led his team to the trophy but also claimed the Fazal Mahmood Cap for the tournament's highest wicket-taker, finishing with 19 wickets from 13 matches.

Afridi's exceptional leadership and bowling prowess earned him the captaincy of the star-studded squad.

Joining Afridi in the team are two of his Lahore Qalandars teammates: all-rounder Sikandar Raza, who contributed 254 runs and 10 wickets in 11 matches, and opening batter Fakhar Zaman, who scored 439 runs, including four fifties, in 13 matches.

The Quetta Gladiators, champions of PSL 2019, are represented by three players in the squad.

Hasan Nawaz, who was named Best Batter of the Tournament for his 399 runs in 12 matches, including a century and three fifties, is joined by all-rounder Faheem Ashraf (163 runs, 17 wickets) and spinner Abrar Ahmed (17 wickets in 12 matches).

From Karachi Kings, who finished third in the league stage before their elimination in Eliminator 1, three players earned spots: captain David Warner (368 runs in 11 matches), opening partner James Vince (378 runs, one century, three fifties), and pacer Hasan Ali (17 wickets in 10 matches).

Additionally, Khushdil Shah, who scored 253 runs and took 7 wickets in 11 matches, has been named the 12th man.

Islamabad United's Sahibzada Farhan, who claimed the Hanif Mohammad Cap as the tournament's leading run-scorer with 449 runs in 12 matches, is the sole representative from his franchise.

Rounding off the team is emerging Peshawar Zalmi fast bowler, Ali Raza, who impressed with 12 wickets in nine matches.

Surprisingly Babar Azam, who amassed 288 runs, and Mohammad Rizwan, who scored 367 runs, put up commendable performances for their respective teams—Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultans—but were overlooked in favour of other standout players.
