5 potential breakout stars to watch out for in PSL 2018

It’s no secret that the real motivation behind the launch of Pakistan Super League (PSL) was money. The Pakistan Cricket Board’s coffers were empty due to its inability to hold a home series in Pakistan, and the PSL was the perfect remedy. But, even if only at a superficial level, one of PSL’s side quests was to unearth new talent and/or give a change to the dead weights who would’ve otherwise been lost in PCB’s infamous talent black hole. Points in case: the tainted Sharjeel Khan’s relaunch in PSL 1, or the discovery of Shadab Khan in 2017. The likes of Rumman Raees, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Asghar and Fakhar Zaman are some more PSL products. And if the same trend holds, it’s safe to presume PSL 2018 will also contribute something to the national team’s talent pool. In Dawn.com’s opinion, these are the five primary candidates who could be the breakout stars of PSL 2018:

Shaheen Shah Afridi Saud Shakeel Hasan Mohsin Salman Irshad
