Luke Wood, the England fast bowler, has been included in the Peshawar Zalmi squad for the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10, which is set to begin on April 11.
The 2017 PSL-winning franchise announced his arrival on social media accounts in an animated poster.
“Welcome back, Luke Wood. England fast bowler is back to charge in for Zalmi at PSL 10,” the franchise wrote.
According to the media reports, Wood has been roped into Zalmi’s squad in place of Bangladesh’s emerging seamer Nahid Rana.
Nahid will be partially unavailable for the tournament due to a home Test series against Zimbabwe.
The fast bowler previously represented the franchise in the PSL 9, taking 13 wickets in 12 matches.
The PSL 10 will begin on Friday, 11 April, with defending champions Islamabad United taking on two-time champions Lahore Qalandars at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
The six-team tournament will see 34 matches from 11 April to 18 May, with Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium set to host 13 matches, including two Eliminators and the final.
The upcoming edition will also feature an exhibition match, which will be played on 8 April in Peshawar.
According to the schedule, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will host 11 matches, including Qualifier 1 on 13 May. Karachi’s National Bank Stadium and Multan Cricket Stadium will host five matches each.
The marquee event will also feature three double-headers, with two matches on weekends (Saturday) and one on a national holiday (Labour Day).
Peshawar Zalmi squad for PSL 10: Babar Azam, Saim Ayub and Tom Kohler-Cadmore (all platinum), Mohammad Haris, George Linde and Mohammad Ali (both diamond), Hussain Talat, Nahid Rana and Abdul Samad (all gold), Arif Yaqoob, Mehran Mumtaz, Sufiyan Muqeem and Najibullah Zadran (all silver), Ali Raza and Maaz Sadaqat (both emerging), Mitchell Owen, Ahmed Daniyal and Alzarri Joseph (all supplementary).
