Du Plessis to make PSL debut

LAHORE: South Africa's Faf du Plessis will make his Pakistan Super League debut when he will turn out for Peshawar Zalmi in the playoffs stage of the tournament, which will resume from November 14. du Plessis, who last visited Pakistan in 2017 as the ICC World XI captain, has been brought in as a replacement player for Kieron Pollard, who will be in New Zealand with the West Indies side.

The tournament, played in February-March, was put on hold following the outbreak of coronavirus right after the league stage was done. PSL 2020 was the first event to be held entirely in Pakistan since its inception in 2016. "I am very excited to join Peshawar Zalmi for the playoff stage games of PSL 2020. I have fond memories of playing in Pakistan when I toured with the ICC World XI in 2017 and I am sure this experience, although different due to Covid-19, will be a memorable one as well," the former South Africa captain said who ended IPL 2020 campaign with 449 runs from 13 innings.
