Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson will be coming to Pakistan to take part in the last leg of the HBL Pakistan Super League-IV (PSL-IV). Watson, who is representing the Quetta Gladiators' while confirming this on social media, said, "It's been 14 years since I last visited Pakistan, a place with some of the most passionate fans in world cricket. Can't wait to give it our best shot in bringing home the trophy with @quetta.gladiators." Quetta Gladiators manager Azam Khan had earlier said Watson would be travelling to Karachi to take part in the Pakistan leg of the tournament.
The news come after Watson's Gladiators team-mate DJ Bravo also confirmed he will be coming to Pakistan. Watson's trip to Pakistan also gives fans here a huge name in cricket to look forward to, after former South Africa and Lahore Qalandars batsman AB de Villiers pulled out of the rest of the tournament with a back injury. "Watson had asked for $0.3 million to play in Pakistan, however, he later said he will come and play without any compensation," Azam Khan was quoted as saying. Watson will arrive with other international players in Karachi on Thursday (today).
The Gladiators administration said Watson will take part in the game against Karachi Kings on March 10 (Sunday). All of Islamabad United players are also travelling to Karachi for the Pakistan leg of PSL. Luke Ronchi, Phillip Salt, Cameron Delport and Samit Patel will be in action at the National Stadium, Karachi. Kings foreign players Colin Munro, Colin Ingram, Sikander Raza and Ravi Bopara will be lighting up the city of lights as well.
It may be added that Karachi will be hosting the remaining eight matches of PSL, following the delayed opening of the Lahore airspace for commercial flights, which created substantial operational and logistical challenges for the three Lahore matches, which were earlier scheduled for March 9, 10 and 12.
