Imran Khan & Javed Afridi the manager & owner is very hopeful about Peshawar Zalmi to win the first title of Pakistan Super League 2016. Cause of few professional t20 international cricketer, experienced all round & fast bowling attack it’s mentioned as very well-balanced team.

We know that Pakistan is the most successful team in twenty20 format and did extremely well in past world cups. Cause of few contradiction in cricket world, their cricketers can’t play the biggest twenty20 event Indian Premier League which is really a heart breaking and pertinacity feeling for PCB and that’s why elected to make another largest t20 tournament on UAE. Before ICC world twenty20, PCB took this tournament to prepare them for world cup.

Another thing to mention that this region of Pakistan have another good team named Peshawar Panthers those are still playing first class matches of Pakistan and their national team always eyes on their to pick young stars from them.
