Former Pakistan skippers Shahid Afridi and Sarfaraz Ahmed will play in the Lankan Premier League for Galle Gladiators, a team bought by the owner of Pakistan Super League franchise Quetta Gladiators.
The announcement of the inclusion of Afridi and Sarfaraz in the franchise was made by Nadeem Omar, who owns Quetta Gladiators, during a reception held here on Wednesday to unveil the Galle Gladiators outfit.
Afridi has been named as the icon player of the franchise.
“Proud to be the icon player for Galle Gladiators. I want to thank Nadeem Omar bhai and also congratulate him for being the first franchise owner from Pakistan in the #LPL. I’ll be seeing you all in,” tweeted the 40-year-old, who last played a T20 event for Multan Sultans in the PSL this year.
The inaugural event is scheduled to be held from November 14 to December 6.
