Hello Blurtblog User,

How are all .
Karachi Kings
Captain:Babar Azam

Coach: Peter Moores
Full squad: Babar Azam (capt), Imad Wasim, Lewis Gregory, Mohammad Nabi, Mohammad Amir, Aamer Yamin, Sharjeel Khan, Joe Clarke, Umaid Asif, Ian Cockbain, Rohail Nazir, Mohammad Imran Junior, Mohammad Ilyas, Mohammad Talha, Talha Ahsan, Tom Lammonby, Shahibzada Farhan, Jordan Thompson, Chris Jordan, Faisal Akram, Qasim Akram
LAST SEASON:Fourth
Won three out of their first five games, but stumbled midway, losing three successive games. They edged Lahore Qalandars on net run-rate to eventually qualify for the playoffs after BEATING QUETTA GLADIATORS BY 14 RUN Son the last day of the group stage. However, they were thrashed by Peshawar Zalmi Zalmi in the Eliminator,where Hazratullah Zazai smashed a 38-ball 77. They had a strong squad last season, headlined by Babar Azam and Sharjeel Khan, but the bowling attack couldn't make much of an impact. Mohammad Amir managed only five wickets in 11 matches while conceding 8.37 runs an over.

What's changed for this season?

They lost Arshad Iqbal and Waqas Maqsood, but Chris Jordan's return will boost the bowling attack that will also include Amir and Aamer Yamin. The major change is Babar taking over captaincy from Imad Wasim. Lewis Gregory will add all-round value to the side while fellow Englishman Ian Cockbain brings strong form from the BBL. Tom Lammonby, another uncapped English player, lends further firepower to the batting line-up. The 21-year-old has a strike rate of 152.02 in T20 cricket and can provide an extra bowling option with his left-arm medium pace
