HBL Pakistan Super League: Gladiators start with clash against Zalmi, Kings face Sultans test

The day match will see for the first time a new captain for Gladiators, South Africa’s Rilee Rossouw, after the mantle was taken back from long-time skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed who led the franchise team in all the eight editions of PSL held so far.

The 34-year-old Rossouw is ready for the tough job and has high hopes from his team.

“The opportunity to lead a side in the PSL doesn’t come around often and it’s such an honour for me. My expectation this season is obviously to win the league,” the left-handed batter said.
