He was the part of Lahore Qalandars for past seven seasons

Lahore Qalandars confirm that their long-standing all-rounder David Wiese will not be participating in the Pakistan Super League Season 11 due to unforeseen circumstances and important family commitments.

David has shared a strong and enduring association with Lahore Qalandars over the past seven seasons and has expressed his intention to return in future editions of the PSL.

During his time with the franchise, Wiese has played a vital role both on and off the field, contributing consistently with bat and ball while serving as an integral member of the team’s leadership group. His experience, composure in pressure situations, and mentorship of younger players have been key pillars in Lahore Qalandars’ journey and success.

Lahore Qalandars fully respect and welcome David Wiese’s decision to prioritise his family this season. As a key member of the leadership group and a valued part of the team over the past seven years, his presence has always been appreciated.

The franchise looks forward to seeing David back in green and contributing to the Qalandars’ journey in the coming seasons.

Sameen Rana, Lahore Qalandars Owner, said: “David has been an integral part of the Lahore Qalandars family and our leadership group for many years. His contributions extend far beyond on-field performances. We fully respect his decision to prioritise his family at this time and look forward to welcoming him back in the coming seasons.”

David Wiese, while sharing his sentiments, said: “Being part of Lahore Qalandars has been more than just cricket—it’s been a family. The brotherhood within the team, the positive and supportive environment, and the passion everyone brings every day make this franchise truly special. Being called a Murshad by the team and fans is something I will always cherish. The love and respect I’ve received over the years from everyone associated with Lahore Qalandars is immense, and it’s humbling to know that my guidance and presence, both on and off the field, have made a difference. I’m proud to have been part of a group that values teamwork, growth, and the spirit of the game, and I look forward to returning and contributing to the team’s journey in the seasons ahead.”
