Zalmi had reserved their pick for Naveen in the Replacement Draft last week. They announced the signing of young pace sensation Shamar Joseph joined Zalmi as he was announced as the partial replacement of England's Gus Atkinson.
Peshawar Zalmi, announcing their replacements, drafted Waqar Salamkheil in the silver category for Lungi Ngidi, who was not available for the whole season.
