Muhammad Hafeez’s surprise return to Quetta Gladiators as a substitute

Mohammad Hafeez has procured an unexpected call-up for PSL 2023 at 42 years old. Initially unpicked in the draft, Hafeez has endorsed with Quetta Gladiators as a trade for Ahsan Ali, who has been precluded because of a knee injury.

Hafeez assumed an instrumental part in Lahore Qalandars’ PSL title the year before. He hit 69 off 46 balls in the last, then took 2 for 23 in his four overs with the ball as Qalandars beat Multan Sultans at Gaddafi Arena.

He has since played in the Dhaka Premier Division in Bangladesh and in the Kashmir Premier League, however his playing vocation had all the earmarks of being actually finished. He had been investigating off-field choices, and had turned into a noticeable cricket expert on Pakistani TV.

In any case, Gladiators, who have neglected to arrive at the end of the season games in three back to back seasons in the wake of winning the PSL in 2019, have offered him a chance. They play their initial round of the 2023 competition on Wednesday night in Multan, against Multan Sultans.
