The 2021 Pakistan Super League is only a handful of days away, and there has been some last minute PSL overseas player replacements effecting three of the teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Islamabad United<\/strong>, Fawad Ahmed, Ali Khan and Paul Stirling have come into the squad to replace Colin Munro, Reece Topley and Chris Jordan, as the franchises’ overseas picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fawad Ahmed replaces New Zealand\u2019s Colin Munro. The Kiwi withdrew a few weeks ago due to quarantine issues he would face on his return to New Zealand at the conclusion of the tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To further disrupt Islamabad’s preparations, they’ve also now had to replace Reece Topley and Chris Jordan. Both Topley and Jordan are in the England T20 squad<\/a><\/strong> to face India in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Peshawar Zalmi<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em> have also seen their preparations disrupted. Yorkshire’s Tom-Kohler Cadmore is brought in to replace Liam Livingstone<\/strong>, who is also named in the England T20 squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Livingstone’s form in the Big Bash clearly didn’t go unnoticed by the England selectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final side to see their plans tossed up in the air are Quetta Gladiators<\/strong>. They have had to sign Faf du Plessis as a partial player replacement for Chris Gayle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gayle is set to miss a section of the competition due to West Indies commitments, he looks set to be recalled to play against Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faf de Plessis will cover for the section of the tournament that Gayle is unavailable for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
