The hosts have one of the larger squads in the tournament, with plenty of players to choose from – they usually field three teams and they have a lot of depth to their side.

- Naqash Naveed: The all-rounder scored 223 runs in T20 cricket last season, as well as taking some useful wickets.
- Wamaq Syed: The big-hitting wicket-keeper-batsman could be well suited to T10 cricket given his penchant for quick runs, without necessarily sticking around.
