The PSL is rightly credited for unearthing potential gems from the local talent pool and polishing them for the bigger stage. This year is no different.
Nineteen-year-old Ibtisam Sheikh of Peshawar Zalmi is showing great potential with his tricky leg-break bowling and athletic fielding. He has grabbed five wickets in three matches, with his best figures of 3/20.
Another name to watch out for is 17-year-old Shaheen Shah Afridi of Lahore Qalandars. A left-armer with height and decent swing, he has all the ingredients to become a lethal fast bowler. Although he has yet to claim a wicket this season, there's enough talent in him to go on and do great things.
Hussain Talat of Islamabad United produced a solid knock of 48*(34) against Multan Sultans, helping his team chase down 114. His innings, which included four 4s and three 6s, earned him his maiden man-of-the-match award.
Thirty-three- year-old Umaid Asif of Peshawar Zalmi also earned himself similar honours for his bowling figures of 4/23 against Islamabad United.
