Key Players 2026
The match-winners expected to spearhead Lahore Qalandars’ PSL 11 title defence.
Pakistan’s premier left-arm seamer, a genuine matchday game-changer who led LQ to the PSL 10 title and was retained as a Platinum player for PSL 11.
Pakistan’s most destructive white-ball opener — acquired for 7.95 Crore, LQ’s highest auction spend. Fakhar’s big scores set the platform for every innings.
Consistently one of T20 cricket’s fastest bowlers with a devastating yorker arsenal. Signed for 7.6 Crore to form a world-class pace partnership with Shaheen.
Gold-retained lynchpin of the LQ batting and spin lineup — a proven PSL performer who provides control in the middle overs and big hitting at the death.
Bangladesh’s king of cutters and slower balls, directly signed for 6.44 Crore. His variations at any stage of the innings make him extremely difficult to score against.
Diamond-retained technically sound batter who adapts brilliantly to T20 demands — provides LQ with an anchor role to build around the power hitters.
