They have reached the playoffs in all PSL editions, but they only have a title in their cabinet.
Peshawar Zalmi raised his first title of Pakistan Super League (PSL) in 2017, but I have not been able to repeat the glory since then. They have approached in an agonizing way, reaching the last three times but falling short. Zalmi has reached the playoffs in the last three editions, but he could not reach the end.
Last year, they ended second in the league stage with six wins and three losses. They had two opportunities to reach the final but lost the qualifier and the 225 Qualifier.
Peshawar Zalmi used the right to coincide with the card in the draft to recover Tom Kohler-Cadmore. They had also signed at Corbin Bosch, but the entire terrain South African rhythm was withdrawn for a period of the Indian Premier League with the Mumbai Indians. Zalmi chose George Linde as a replacement while adding Mitch Owen as a complementary choice.
On paper, the team looks strong with several quality players. Here we take a look at the best Peshawar Zalmi playing XI and key players for PSL 2025.

Key players
Babar Azam
Babar Azam has been a good asset aside. He has accumulated 1,091 races in the last two editions of PSL at an average of 54.55 while hitting 143.93. This was a significant improvement in its attack rate compared to the previous seasons. Zalmi would need to keep this rate in PSL 2025.
Saim Ayub
Saim Ayub has been a perfect partner at the other end, since it is someone who can face bowling players from the beginning. The left batter has scored 686 races in the two editions prior to an excellent attack rate of 161.41 while averaging 29.82. Ayub returns from an injury that forced him to leave the Champions Trophy, and will need to hit the floor quickly.
Rairri Joseph
This will be the first season of PSL of Alzarri Joseph, but has a lot of experience playing in subcontinent conditions. It has the rhythm of shaking most of the batters of the league with hard bowling. Alcarri has taken 51 Wickts of 37 T20 tickets in the last 12 months, hitting every 12 balls and granting 8.44 RPO.
