David Warner Surprised By Karachi Snub in PSL 11 Team Of The Tournament

Karachi Kings captain David Warner has questioned why none of his team’s players were included in the recently announced Pakistan Super League 2026 Team of the Tournament.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) revealed the team on Monday, with Babar Azam appointed captain after guiding Peshawar Zalmi to the title while also delivering strong performances with the bat.

The lineup included three players each from Peshawar Zalmi and Hyderabad Kingsmen, two each from Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United, and one player each from Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators. Surprisingly, no players from Karachi Kings or Rawalpindi sides made it into the 12-member squad, raising serious questions about the selection process.

Taking this into consideration, David Warner reacted on Instagram under the PSL’s official post, writing “Where is Karachi players,” suggesting that some key performances were ignored.

He was also Karachi Kings’ leading run scorer, making 256 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 147.97, including three half-centuries.

Meanwhile, Hasan Ali impressed with the ball as well, taking 15 wickets in nine matches and finishing among the top wicket-takers of the tournament.

Interestingly, none of these performances got the attention of the PCB, which prompted Warner to raise a quick question on social media.
