Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub are expected to recover and participate in the PSL 10, having missed the Champions Trophy 2025 due to injuries. Both players are on track for their return, with Zaman playing for Lahore Qalandars and Ayub for Peshawar Zalmi. The PSL will commence on April 11, 2025.
Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub, both prominent opening batters for Pakistan, are anticipated to be fit for the 10th season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which commences in April. They were recently sidelined from the Champions Trophy 2025 due to injuries, creating concern for the national team.
Reports from Geo Super confirm that while both players are unable to participate in the upcoming tour of New Zealand, they are on track for recovery in time for the PSL. Zaman sustained an injury to his left lower intercostal muscle during the first game of the Champions Trophy, while Ayub suffered an ankle fracture that required surgery earlier this year.
Fakhar Zaman is expected to resume practice shortly and will represent the Lahore Qalandars in the PSL. Meanwhile, Saim Ayub, who underwent surgery for his ankle injury, is also making positive strides towards recovery and intends to play for Peshawar Zalmi, which features notable player Babar Azam.
The 10th season of the PSL is set to begin on April 11th, with a match between Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars in Rawalpindi, culminating in the final scheduled for May 18th at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially announced this schedule, aligning with the concurrent Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
In summary, both Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub are expected to recover in time for PSL season 10 after being ruled out of the Champions Trophy 2025 due to injuries. Zaman will play for Lahore Qalandars, while Ayub is set to join Peshawar Zalmi. The PSL is scheduled to start on April 11, marking a significant event for both players and Pakistani cricket fans.
