Babar Azam Leads the Charge: Establishing a New Era for Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL

Peshawar Zalmi is undergoing a transformation as it prepares for the upcoming season of the Pakistan Super League. The franchise has traded in Babar Azam from Karachi Kings in exchange for Shoaib Malik and Haider Ali, with the goal of forming a new core for the team. Babar will take over the captaincy from Wahab Riaz, becoming the new leader of the Zalmi squad.

Peshawar Zalmi has a rich history, known for its loyal core of players who have remained with the team since its inception in 2016. Daren Sammy, Hasan Ali, Kamran Akmal, and Wahab Riaz have been integral parts of the team, until Hasan's departure last year.

While there have been some challenges along the way, such as the conflict with Akmal and the mid-season change in leadership with Sammy moving to coaching, the franchise remains determined to rebuild and form a new dynasty.
