Texas Super Kings, owned by IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings, will make their debut in the upcoming Major League Cricket tournament. The draft for MLC 2023 happened yesterday in the United States of America, where the Super Kings made some interesting signings.
Many cricket fans would know by now that the discarded talents of multiple Test-playing nations have settled in the United States of America now, hoping to make a big career for the USA. MLC 2023 will be the biggest tournament for the USA cricketers.
Some former Pakistan players have also moved to the United States now, and a couple of them will be in action playing for the Texas Super Kings team in MLC 2023. Here’s a list of those two names:
1. Former Pakistan opener Sami Aslam will play for Texas Super Kings
Sami Aslam once opened the batting for the Pakistan cricket team in Test cricket. He also played in the 50-over format for the Men in Green. However, he could not cement his spot in the team. Soon after, he lost his place in the domestic team and alleged that the domestic teams would not give him chances to feature in the playing XI.
He left Pakistan cricket and moved to the USA, with the aim of starting a new chapter in his career. His journey will begin by playing for the Super Kings in the upcoming MLC season.
2. Zia Shahzad
Another former Pakistan player who will represent the Super Kings is Zia Shahzad. He is a leg break googly bowler, who has played for the Lahore Blues team in domestic cricket. Shahzad never made it to the national team of Pakistan, but he played two first-class matches and three List-A matches in his domestic career. It will be exciting to see how he performs for the Super Kings.
