Peshawar Zalmi have signed Zimbabwe emerging batter Brian Bennett for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11.
Zalmi owner Afridi confirmed the news on his social media handle.
“We welcome Brian John Bennett from Zimbabwe to the Zalmi family,” Afridi wrote.
With this, Bennett will join Sikandar Raza as the only other player from Zimbabwe to play in PSL 11.
The signing comes on the back of Bennett’s impressive ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, where he emerged as the sixth-highest run getter.
The right-hander notched up 292 runs in six matches at a stellar average of 146, including three half-centuries.
He batted at a strike rate of 134, with a highest score of 97, unbeaten, against India in the Super Eights. Overall, the 22-year-old has played 58 T20Is, scoring 1888 runs, including a century and 12 half-centuries.
Notably, his PSL debut will mark his first appearance in an overseas league.
For the unversed, PSL 11 will begin on March 26 behind closed doors across two venues, Karachi and Lahore.
The upcoming edition is to be a landmark one, featuring eight teams for the first time, including debutants Hyderabad Kingsmen and RawalPindiz.
The tournament will comprise 44 matches spread across a 39-day window.
