Ihsanullah, who rose to prominence during PSL 8 with his 150+ kph deliveries and 22 wickets, has been on a rehabilitation journey since undergoing elbow surgery last year.
His inclusion as a supplementary pick underscores Zalmi’s strategy to reinforce their pace attack ahead of the tournament.
Fans have eagerly awaited Ihsanullah’s return, and his partnership with Zalmi’s star-studded lineup could prove pivotal in the team’s quest for a second PSL title. The league is set to kick off in February 2024.
