Excitement Among PSL Fans
Soon after PSL shared the news of AB de Villiers joining the next season of Pakistan’s very own cricket league, a wave of excitement ran among the fans. Now, all they want to pray of de Villiers joining their favorite team. Few experts and cricket critiques think that Lahore Qalanders, which has remained an unfortunate team of PSL so far may go for de Villiers and consider him as its captain.
With #LahoreQalandars having first pick in PSL4 Draft, without any second thought they'll go for #ABDeVilliers as platinum giving exciting start to Draft. LQ may not retain B.McCullum with two failures as Capt. Meanwhile still any doubt for future of Umar Akmal in LQ?🏏 #cricket
