This decision, announced on July 2nd, 2024, allows these players to participate in various prestigious cricket leagues around the world, thereby enhancing the global presence of Pakistani cricket talent.
Leading the charge is young spinner Abrar Ahmed, set to showcase his skills in Major League Cricket from July 4th to 28th. Joining him in this venture are pace sensations Haris Rauf and Zaman Khan, promising an exciting display of Pakistani bowling prowess on the international stage.
Meanwhile, explosive batsman Fakhar Zaman will captivate audiences in the Caribbean Premier League, scheduled from August 29th to October 6th.
Adding depth to English County Cricket will be the seasoned Mohammad Amir, lending his expertise from July 4th to 20th. The Lanka Premier League, running from July 1st to 21st, will feature a robust Pakistani contingent including Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Hasnain, Salman Ali Agha, and the ever-reliable Shadab Khan.
