Pearl Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
PGR Team News
Mohammad Nadeem has been confirmed as one of the final players to make up the Pearl Gladiators squad, joining a line-up that consists of Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Afghan overseas stars. That includes Mohammad Sami, Ajantha Mendis and Sharjeel Khan.
PGR Key Players
Mohammad Sami: The veteran Pakistani paceman might be past his peak now, but he proved with his performances at the PSL last February that he is still capable of magic, match-winning moments with the ball.
Ajantha Mendis: The Sri Lankan has been tempted out of retirement to take part in this tournament. The mystery spinner, 34, once took 6-8 in a T20 international to prove what he can offer in the very shortest formats.
Malinda Pushpakumara: Only bowled one over in the T10 League in Abu Dhabi but he took a wicket from it – Shane Watson, no less – on his way to figures of 1-6. He might not be so under-used this time.
