In a significant development for the Pindiz franchise, Jalat Khan has been named as a replacement for Zaman Khan, who was retained in the Gold category for the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11. Zaman Khan suffered a dislocation of the Acromioclavicular Joint (ACJ) of his right shoulder during a match, prompting the need for a replacement.
Jalat Khan, a 23-year-old fast bowler from Layyah, has made a notable impact in the T20 format, taking 25 wickets in just 14 matches with an impressive economy rate of 6.40. His performance has garnered attention, and he was previously associated with the Lahore Qalandars.
The PSL 11 is set to run from March 26 to May 3, 2026, with Pindiz kicking off their campaign on March 28 against Peshawar Zalmi. The management of Pindiz expressed their solidarity with Zaman Khan, wishing him a speedy recovery during this challenging time.
In a statement, the Pindiz management said, “The entire Pindiz family stands with him during this difficult time and wishes him a full and swift recovery.” They also confirmed the decision to name Jalat Khan as Zaman’s replacement, emphasizing their commitment to fielding a competitive team in the upcoming season.
As the tournament approaches, observers are keen to see how Jalat Khan will perform in the PSL, given his promising track record. The franchise’s decision to replace Zaman Khan underscores the challenges teams face with injuries during the tournament.
With the PSL 11 just around the corner, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how the Pindiz squad adapts to this change and how Jalat Khan integrates into the team dynamics.
