Ahead of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) auction, Pakistan’s captain and star batter Babar Azam said that he and his team are looking forward to developing the strongest side in the tournament.
The Strikers have already brought together Pakistan captain Babar Azam, highly talented Pakistan speedster Naseem Shah, and Sri Lankan T20 stars Matheesha Pathirana and Chamika Karunaratne for the LPL 2023, as per a press release from the Colombo Strikers. “The auction is the most important aspect of any franchise cricket tournament. We have spoken about the kind of players we need, and we’ll definitely look to form the strongest side in the tournament,” said Azam, as quoted by a press release from Colombo Strikers.
Meanwhile, Colombo Strikers’ head coach Simon Helmot said, “T20 cricket has moved and grown over the years. We will look to acquire some destructive batters and wicket-taking bowlers. We want to play an aggressive brand of cricket, and we will need the right set of players to execute our plans.”
