Hafeez leaves Lahore Qalandars ahead of PSL 8
He scored 323 runs in 13 matches during the last season of the league
KARACHI: Former Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez has announced that he will not be a part of the Lahore Qalandars for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season eight.
In a tweet on his official Twitter account, Hafeez thanked the franchises for four “amazing” years.
“I will always cherish the amazing memories of working together. Wish you all the best for future endeavours,” he added.
Hafeez scored 323 runs in 13 matches during the last season of PSL, along with six wickets, and was instrumental in Lahore winning the title for the first time.
It must be noted that the draft is likely to take place in the third week of November, 2022.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has already revealed the pick order for the draft, where defending champions Lahore Qalandars will make the first pick.
Quetta Gladiators and Multan Sultans will have second and third picks. The fourth and fifth picks will be done by Karachi Kings and Islamabad United. Meanwhile, Peshawar Zalmi will make the sixth pick.
The next 17 rounds were decided through a special statistical tool.
The PCB has also completed the local player category renewal process for the upcoming edition of the league.
“The teams will now put forward relegation requests for the players before finalising retentions. After relegation requests are floated, all teams are given an opportunity to meet the player’s base category. If the player’s base category is not matched, the player may be relegated to a category below his base category,” the PCB said in a press release.
Next year’s event will be staged at four venues, Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Multan, and will run from 9 February to 19 March 2023.
