Sarfaraz Ahmed returns to Quetta Gladiators for PSL 10

The drafting process for the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has been completed, revealing that Quetta Gladiators has re-selected former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed. 

The Gladiators are now preparing to appoint Sarfaraz as their head coach for the upcoming season.

The decision comes after Australian cricket legend Shane Watson stepped down from the head coach role citing other professional commitments. Watson had to withdraw, prompting the Gladiators’ management to turn to Sarfaraz for leadership.

Sarfaraz has had a long association with Quetta Gladiators, playing with the team since nine years. 

He captained the team for eight seasons and led them to their first-ever PSL championship in 2019. Under his captaincy, the team played 86 matches with Sarfaraz contributing 1,525 runs.

Before the drafting process for the current season, Quetta Gladiators had released Sarfaraz from their squad.

This was the first time in nine years that he was part of the draft, but none of the franchises picked him as a player. However, the Gladiators have now brought him back in a new role as head coach, marking the beginning of a new chapter for both Sarfaraz and the team.
