Hasan Ali

Hasan Ali needs no introduction in the cricketing world.
He has just arrived in the Pakistan team and is one of the most important players for Pakistan.
Hasan Ali is currently ranked #1 in one day internationals and that is no surprise as he has performed really well over the past year or so.

He made headlines in the champions trophy as he was awarded with the best bowler of the tournament. He is a goto man for every captain and has the ability to pick wickets regularly.

Shakib al Hasan

The Bangladeshi veteran has almost played all the t20 leagues in the world and has contributed with both bat and ball.
The left hander plays in the middle order and bowls left arm off spin.
He is a very valuable player to have in the team and has shown it every now and then.
He will be very handy for Peshawar.

Dwayne Bravo

I think Dwayne Bravo is the world's best all-rounder in the shortest format of the game.
He also plays almost every t20 league and has earned a name for himself.
His dipping slower balls are extremely deadly and can bamboozle any batsman.
He has a lot variations when it comes to bowling and can pack a punch with bat in hand also.
He scores quick runs and is thus an impact player for Peshawar Zalmi.

Tamim Iqbal

Tamim Iqbal is one of the few Bangladeshi players who have made a mark in international cricket.
The left hander is very consistent when it comes to scoring runs at the top of the order.
He has played many sensational knocks for his team over the years.
His consistency makes him an impact player for Peshawar Zalmi.
