Biggest trade of PSL history happened as Quetta Gladiators traded Naseem Shah with Islamabad United for PSL 9. Islamabad United traded Naseem Shah with Ibrar Ahmad and Mohammad Waseem Jnr to Quetta Gladiators. From my point of view, Quetta Gladiators is in win win position as Ibrar Ahmed is current best mystery spinner every team aspire to get him. Mohammad Waseem Jnr is also in the form of his life. Mohammad Waseem Jnr is bowling all rounder. Quetta Gladiators is forming the strongest squad ever. With Hasaranga and Ibrar Ahmed, Quetta Gladiators spin attack will be very lethal one. Very wise trade of Quetta Gladiators as Naseem Shah is currently unfit and also may not be in full rhythem and also not play all matches of PSL 9. Quetta got best pair in shape of Mohammad Waseem Jnr and Ibrar Ahmed.

In another biggest trade of PSL 9, Quetta Gladiators traded Iftikhar Ahmed with Rile Rossouw and also offered that Multan Sultans will receive the first pick in the first platinum round in exchange for Rilee Rossouw and the first silver category pick.
Iftikhar Ahmed has emerged as an excellent batting all-rounder . He brings experience from 229 T20 matches in which he scored 4,476 runs.He recently reached the 50 wicket mark and his economy stands at 7.31.
Iftikhar Ahmed is only player in history of PSL who has represented all five different teams of PSL.
Meanwhile, Rilee Rossouw was part of Quetta Gladiators’ PSL winning team in 2019 after representing the team from 2017 to 2019.
Iftikhar Ahmed: “I am happy to become Sultan. It is an honor to represent the people of Multan because their passion for this game is unmatched. The Multan Sultans have developed into a strong team and their record over the last three seasons speaks for itself. Now my aim is to help them win the prestigious HBL PSL trophy,” said Iftikhar.
Captain Muhammad Rizwan: “I am very happy to welcome Iftikhar Ahmed. He brings outstanding all-round skills that we need to be a championship team.
