Sentinel Digital Desk

Lahore: Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson is expected to return to Pakistan next year after he was included in the Platinum category for Pakistan Super League 2020.

“I can’t wait to come back to Pakistan and play in season five. I had an amazing experience in Karachi during the last PSL,” said Watson, while recalling his experience of playing in Pakistan earlier this year as per a PCB media release.

“To be able to connect with the cricket-loving fans in Pakistan and experience Quetta Gladiators winning their first PSL was an amazing experience and one of the highlights of my career.”

Watson has featured in all four editions of the PSL. His best run, however, came in the 2019 edition in which he was awarded player of the tournament and played a crucial hand in helping Quetta Gladiators secure their maiden title.

The 38-year-old was the highest run-getter in the tournament as he piled up 430 runs in 12 matches at a blistering strike rate of 143.81. IANS
