THIS English pacer just ditched IPL for PSL
English cricketer David Willey has rejected an offer from an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise and signed up for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) instead, ARY News reported.
According to reports that The Current has been unable to verify independently, Willey has announced preferring the PSL over IPL and will appear in the Pakistani league during its upcoming 10th edition.
The pacer will be available for the entire tournament, reports said, adding that he had registered himself for the PSL after passing on an offer made by IPL's Lucknow Super Giants.
It may be noted that Willey had also skipped participating in the IPL earlier this year citing personal reasons. He had, however, represented Multan Sultans in the PSL.
During this year's PSL 9, Willey took 15 wickets in 11 matches at an average of 20.40 runs and economy rate of 7.46. His performance had secured him the slot of the 2024 tournament's fourth-highest wicket-taker.
While Willey has become the first foreign player to register, the registration of foreign players is ongoing for the 2025 draft of the PSL. Several other prominent English cricketers are also a part of the process.
