By Nawaz Gohar ;  Pakistan’s premier all-rounder Shadab Khan has reached a significant agreement to join the Desert Vipers for the upcoming 2026 edition of the Global Super League (GSL).

This high-profile signing marks the star cricketer’s debut in the GSL, further expanding his footprint across major international T20 circuits.

According to international media reports, the 2026 Global Super League is scheduled to take place from July 23 to August 1 in Guyana. The entirety of the tournament will be hosted at the iconic Providence Stadium, where five top-tier teams from across the globe will compete for a US$1 million prize pool.

The Desert Vipers have assembled a formidable 14-member squad for the competition. Shadab Khan will join an elite roster that includes: Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand), Kyle Mayers (West Indies), Andries Gous (USA),

Chris Green (Captain – Australia). The inclusion of Shadab is expected to provide critical balance to the team, given his dual-threat capabilities with both the bat and the ball.

At 27, Shadab Khan brings a wealth of experience from leagues worldwide, including his successful captaincy of Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

All-Round Prowess: Known for his aggressive batting and lethal leg-spin, Shadab has a proven track record of shifting momentum in the middle overs.

T20 Pedigree: With over 340 T20 appearances and nearly 380 wickets to his name, experts believe Shadab’s presence makes the Desert Vipers a leading contender for the 2026 title.

The tournament, overseen by Cricket West Indies and chaired by legendary cricketer Sir Clive Lloyd, continues to grow in stature, with this year’s edition promising high-intensity action for cricket fans in the Caribbean and beyond.

Derby: Shadab Khan upbeat about Pakistan’s chances against England, after competing with each other in HBL PSL6, “we are all glad to be reunited as one team”, says Pakistan men’s white-ball vice-captain

Pakistan men’s national cricket team have commenced seven-day preparations for their white-ball UK tour with the first training session of the tour at the Incora Derby Cricket Ground after spending first three days in room isolation.

Pakistan will play England in three ODIs and as many T20Is. The ODIs are part of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League and currently the two teams are tied on 40 points, with England on the second spot because of a better net run-rate and Pakistan at the third.

This is Pakistan’s fifth tour of the UK in the last six years. Overall, they have visited here 11 times for bilateral contests.

Shadab Khan, the national men’s side’s white-ball captain, is excited about the latest tour as he believes the current squad has done well in the last one year and has the desired momentum to beat the world champions.

While speaking to media after training session Shadab Khan made his intentions clear that Pakistan are in England to win. “Surely, England are the ODI world champions, but we come into the series after playing some good cricket against them in the past.”

The passion and love of these guys for the game is evident by the energy they have put in in the practice session today. It is great to be reunited as a team after competing against each other in the successful HBL Pakistan Super League 6.

Of course, English conditions are different from UAE but HBL PSL 6 has given us momentum and rhythm and we would like to keep this momentum going by playing some exciting and competitive cricket. “if you look at our squad, Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq have played extraordinary innings in South Africa. Fakhar has scored two centuries in three matches, while Imam scored two half-centuries which show our opening pair is settled in this format.

Our middle-order is strong too with Babar Azam – who needs no introduction – and Mohammad Rizwan, who is fresh from winning the HBL PSL 6. Haris Sohail is back in the side having scored over 50 runs per innings in the UK.

“ Our bowling department is beefed up by Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali, who are match winners. So we are very confident and hopeful of showing our full potential in the upcoming games.”

Out of the 22 probables chosen for the series, a total of six players belong to Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the twin cities.

Newly appointed vice-captain Shadab Khan has played a lot of cricket at the Pindi Cricket Stadium and he is looking forward to representing his country in his hometown.

Shadab Khan: “Exciting times for me as I would be vice-captaining at my home ground where I have some great memories of the stadium especially since watching cricket here as a spectator. I have even come here as a spectator to support Mohammad Nawaz in a domestic game, as he is a good mate of mine. The Zimbabwe series should produce good cricket at this venue where we have seen some really exciting games in the past.”

All-rounder Imad Wasim also played a number of domestic games at the Pindi Cricket Stadium. The 31-year-old, who first watched an international match at the venue in 2003 as a spectator, is hoping to make a big impression in the series.

Imad Wasim: “I watched a match here for the first time in 2003 when Bangladesh was touring; I saw the likes of Inzamam-ul-Haq and Shoaib Akhtar play that match and that was a big inspiration and motivation for me. I am excited and keenly await the start of the Zimbabwe series at this venue. We are playing an ODI after more than a year. Pindi Cricket Stadium is a great venue to restart ODI cricket.”

Young wicketkeeper-batsman Rohail Nazir is another player hailing from the twin cities. The 19-year-old is keen on starting his Pakistan senior’s journey from his home ground.

Fast bowler Haris Rauf who lives near the Pindi Cricket Stadium is delighted to be a part of the Pakistan squad for the series. The 26-year-old has played five T20Is for Pakistan and is looking forward to the possible opportunity of making his ODI debut during the series.

Haris Rauf: “I was obsessed about cricket and grounds as a kid; I remember I once scaled the wall of the stadium at dawn just to touch the pitch of the Pindi Cricket Stadium. The possibility of making my ODI debut at my home ground is really exciting. If given an opportunity, I would really like to make a big impression and do well for my country.”

Rohail Nazir: “I am very pleased to play on the field where I used to watch others play sitting in the spectator stands. Now I have got this opportunity of playing and practicing with Pakistan cricketers on the same venue, it is an honour and something that makes me very proud and happy. If given a chance of making a debut here, I would give my absolute best and use my knowledge of the venue and the conditions.”

Rohail’s Pakistan U19 teammate, Haider Ali, is also another budding cricketer hailing from the twin cities. Haider is also ready to make a big impression after his sensational T20I debut against England last month when he became the first Pakistan player to score a 50 in a T20I debut.

Haider Ali: “I was eager to play at my home venue. I am very excited and want to make full use of this opportunity. Of course my aim is to build on the start I made; I am not at all complacent and rather fully focused on the upcoming games. The added incentive for me is to do well at my home ground where I have played a lot of cricket.”

Fast bowler Musa Khan is another youngster hailing from the region, his wish like the rest of the players is to make most of the opportunity of doing well at his home venue in an international match.

Musa Khan: “I played U19 cricket here at this venue, also represented Islamabad United and now I am looking forward to donning the national colours at the Pindi Cricket Stadium. I have a lot of cherished memories from the venue and I will use those memories to give me confidence and generate a feel good factor before taking the field.”

KARACHI: The return of international cricket turned sweeter for fans at the National Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday as Pakistan scripted a sure-footed whitewash against the visiting West Indies in the three-match T20I series.

The West Indies scored 153-6 — their highest total of the series — with Andre Fletcher (52) scoring the only half-century on this tour for the visitors, while Denesh Ramdin cracked 42 of 18 balls.

But Pakistan chased down the 154-run target in 16.5 overs with eight wickets in hand as in-form opener Babar Azam scored another half-century (51).

Fakhar Zaman provided early momentum to the Sarfraz-led team with his 40 runs off 17 balls, including six fours and two sixes at a strike rate of 235.29.

Middle-order batsmen Hussain Talat and Asif Ali took the innings to the victory stand with their 31-run partnership off 28 balls.

Pakistan won the first match by 143 runs and the second by 82 runs. The three matches were all played in Karachi.

This was Pakistan’s third T20I series win by 3-0 margin—the most by any team. No other team has managed to clean sweep a three-match T20I series more than twice.

It was also the green shirts’ 17th win in the last 20 games and the seventh series win since Sarfraz Ahmed took over as skipper. The green shirts have never lost a series since the wicketkeeper-batsman took over the captaincy in 2016 after World T20.

Second Innings

Babar Azam (51) carried forward the momentum built by Zaman, the in-form batsman posted another half-century in his records, before getting dismissed by Odean Smith.

The breathtaking strokeplay of Fakhar Zaman (40) finally came to an end as the opener edged the ball of Rayad Emrit to the keeper when he tried to flat-bat a delivery towards the leg side.

Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam curtailed the 154 run chase with their power hitting. The visitors’ bowling lineup was neutralised by the openers, who took full advantage of the batting powerplay.

First Innings – Fletcher, Ramdin lift Windies to fighting total

Fletcher scored 52 off 43 balls, with four boundaries and three sixes on 120.93 strike rate.

Samuels timely assisted the Windies opener with his score of 31 runs.

Successive dismissals by the Pakistani bowlers halted the hosts’ momentum in the middle of their innings but the late blitz by Ramdin (42) extended the score to 153 runs.

Legspinner Shadab Khan took two wickets, while Faheem Ashraf, Muhammad Nawaz and Usman Khan Shinwari bagged one each.

Pakistan made two changes in its squad as Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usman Shinwari have made their place in the final-playing 11 while fast bowlers Muhammad Amir and Hasan Ali are being rested.

But Denesh Ramdin slammed down the Pakistani death-over bowling with his cameo blitz. In just 18 balls, the tailender smashed 42 runs, with three sixes and four boundaries.

What appeared to be the last straw that broke the Windies resistance was run out of Andre Fletcher by Muhammad Nawaz. He departed on the score of 52 runs.

Pakistan made a sudden comeback in the game as Shadab Khan took timely wickets of Samuels and debutant Andre McCarthy.

Andre Fletcher and Marlon Samuels consolidated and put Pakistan on a defensive position by neutralising the hosts’ bowling attack.

Windies opener Chadwick Walton departed on a duck on the very first ball of Muhammad Nawaz’s over as he skied the ball in an attempt to hit over covers.

Afridi is making his debut tonight, Wasim Akram handed him his debut cap.

Final Playing-11

Pakistan XI: F Zaman, B Azam, H Talat, Asif Ali, S Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed, F Ashraf, M Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Khan

West Indies XI: C Walton, A Fletcher, M Samuels, J Mohammed, D Ramdin, R Powell, K Paul, R Emrit, A McCarthy, O Smith, S Badree

Pakistan has already taken a decisive 2-0 lead in the three-match series against West Indies. A clean sweep will ensure that Pakistan maintains its number one T20 ranking. A loss would lead to Australia taking over the top spot.

Pakistan has dominated the series, winning the first match by 143 runs and the second by 82 runs. Pakistan’s top order has been brilliant with an unbeaten 97 by Babar Azam in the second match and Hussain Talat scoring 41 and 62 during the series.

KARACHI: An unbeaten 58-ball 97 by Man-of-the-Match Babar Azam and a maiden half-century by Sunday’s debutant hero Hussain Talat helped Pakistan clinch the three-match T20I series 2-0 at the National Stadium on Monday.

West Indies were bowled out for 123, after Pakistan posted their highest-ever T20I total of 205 in the second match.

After facing a 143-run thrashing in the opening T20I, West Indies tried to put up a fight after losing Andre Fletcher for just 1 run to Mohammad Nawaz. Chadwick Walton resisted bravely with a 29-ball 40, but fell to Shadab Khan with Windies at 50-2 (8.1 overs).

Shadab struck again to remove Marlon Samuels 12 (22) with a catch by Asif Ali near the boundary. Wicketkeeper-batsman Denesh Ramdin, after failing to click in the first T20I, hit out at the Pakistani bowling before departing for 21 runs off 20.

Mohammad Amir cleaned up the middle-lower order with wickets of skipper Jason Mohammed 15 (18), Powell 3 (4), and Paul 17 (10). Emrit was run out for 1. Hasan Ali knocked out Williams’ stumps. Hussain Talat took two wickets, including the last one, to hand Pakistan an 82-run victory.

Babar 97*, Talat 63 power Pakistan to 205

Babar Azam fell just short of his maiden T20I hundred as he reached his best T20 score of 97*, while Hussain Talat smashed 63 from 41 balls to take Pakistan to their highest-ever total in T20 internationals, after the home team won the toss and chose to bat.

Pakistan lost opener Fakhar Zaman for run-a-ball 6 in the second over of the match. But they lost no momentum as both Babar Azam and Hussain Talat anchored the innings and brought Pakistan back on course.

Talat’s Islamabad United teammate Asif Ali, who was out for a disappointing 1 run in his debut T20I, hit a couple of powerful boundaries before getting caught in the deep at 14 (8).

Shoaib Malik contributed 17 runs from 7 balls. For West Indies, debutant Odean Smith, Emrit and Williams took a wicket each.

Pakistan team was unchanged from the first T20I. An already depleted West Indies suffered another blow, with their bowler Veerasammy Permaul ruled out of the remaining games due to an ankle injury.

In the first T20I on Sunday, Pakistan thrashed the West Indies by 143 runs to record the second-largest margin win in the shortest format of the game.

The third and final T20I will be played at the same venue on April 3, Tuesday.

Playing XI

Pakistan XI: Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Sarfraz Ahmed (c, wk), Hussain Talat, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali

West Indies XI: Jason Mohammed (c), Andre Fletcher, Rovman Powell, Marlon Samuels, Keemo Paul, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Kesrick Williams, Odean Smith, Chadwick Walton, Rayad Emrit, Samuel Badree

KARACHI: Pakistan thrashed West Indies by 143 runs to record the second-biggest margin win in T20I history as the tourists collapsed in the first match of the three-T20I series at National Stadium on Sunday.

West Indies batting collapsed at 60 after a sure-footed 41 by debutant Hussain Talat and a late cameo by veteran Shoaib Malik powered Pakistan to a mammoth 203-5.

Mohammad Nawaz struck in the inning’s first over after getting hit for six off his very first ball, removing Chadwick Walton for 6 (4). Mohammad Amir, in the inning’s second over, had Andre Fletcher caught on duck, leaving West Indies at 8-2.

Two balls later, Amir removed skipper Jason Mohammed for duck.

Wicketkeeper Dinesh Ramdin was out after a five-ball duck, off the first ball by Hasan Ali.

Shadab Khan caught and bowled Powell 5 (10), as Windies staggered to 27-5 in the seventh over. Marlon Samuels showed some resistance with 18 runs, but he was dismissed by Mohammad Nawaz as the collapse continued.

Shoaib Malik ripped through the lower order, removing pacer Emrit 11 (20) and Williams 0 (1).

Man-of-the-Match Hussain Talat, who took three catches in the field, took the last wicket to wrap up the match for Pakistan.

Talat, Malik blitz

Hussain Talat’s 37-ball 41 and a quickfire 37 by Shoaib Malik helped Pakistan put up their joint-highest score in the shortest format of the game. The previous best was also 203-5 against Bangladesh in 2008, also in Karachi.

West Indies put brakes on a flying start by Pakistan with two quick wickets after opting to bowl first, as the City of Lights lit up to welcome the return of international cricket after a hiatus of nine years.

West Indies had their first breakthrough as pacer Emrit removed Babar Azam for 13-ball 17, with Pakistan at 46-1.

Fakhar Zaman hit 39 off 24 balls before he was run out, leaving Pakistan at 65-2 in the eighth over.

Hussain Talat, who debuted today along with this Islamabad United teammate Asif Ali, fell short of a memorable fifty, getting run out after a 37-ball 41.

Skipper Sarfraz Ahmed contributed with a 22-ball 38, hitting some measured shots to steer Pakistan towards a respectable total.

Asif Ali, who rose to fame with his six-hitting ability in PSL 2018, had a forgettable debut with just 1 run.

Shoaib Malik smashed 37 off just 14 balls in the last overs, as West Indies struggled in the field with injuries and misfields.

Earlier, Hussain Talat and Asif Ali were handed their T20I debut caps by former captains Ramiz Raja and Waqar Younis ahead of the toss.

Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed said he was proud and excited to be leading his team on home soil, as international cricket returned to Karachi after a hiatus of nine years.

“It feels great to be playing on our home soil, in front of our home crowd,” the skipper said at the toss, adding that the pitch looked good for batting.

Playing XI

Pakistan XI: Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Sarfraz Ahmed (c, wk), Hussain Talat, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali

KARACHI: Pakistan will take another significant step towards the revival of international cricket as World Twenty20 champions the West Indies feature in three back-to-back Twenty20 internationals in Karachi from Sunday.

The Pakistan Cricket Board have put in place stringent security arrangements for the West Indies team, with 8,000 policemen and paramilitary personnel guarding the visitors in and around the hotel and stadium.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) match referee David Boon will supervise the series while ICC general manager cricket Geoff Allardice and umpires´ manager Adrian Griffith will also attend the matches to oversee arrangements.

The series comes as Pakistan is enjoying guarded optimism over the return of international cricket, driven from the country after a deadly militant attack targeting the Sri Lanka team in 2009.

Earlier this month Karachi successfully hosted the final of the popular Pakistan Super League (PSL), becoming the second major venue to host international matches after Lahore hosted Zimbabwe in 2015.

Lahore also hosted the PSL final in March last year, three World XI matches in September and one against Sri Lanka a month later.

This year´s PSL final was the first major cricket event in Karachi since 2009. Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed said he was overjoyed at the return of international matches to his home city.

“This is a great occasion,” said Sarfraz, the only player in the squad who has played a limited over international in Karachi before.

“We saw a big crowd in the PSl final so I hope they will come in big numbers for the Twenty20 series.”

The other two matches will be played on Monday and Tuesday.

Pakistan have done well in the shortest format of the game, having won 14 of the 17 Twenty20 internationals since Sarfraz took over as captain in September 2016.

That helped them reach the number one spot in Twenty20 rankings, having won 2-1 in New Zealand in January this year.

Sarfraz said he hoped his team would keep the momentum.

“Whatever team West Indies sends we have to play at our best because they have good shorter format players,” said the captain, whose team has only lost three of their 11 Twenty20 internationals against the West Indies.

Pakistan have included three newcomers in batsman Asif Ali, allrounder Hussain Talat and paceman Shaheen Shah Afridi — after the trio fared well in the PSL 2018.

West Indies will be without their regular Twenty20 captain Carlos Brathwaite, who opted out of the tour over security fears while openers Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis, all-rounders Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard, and spinner Sunil Narine were not available for selection due to their commitments to the Indian Premier League.

Middle order batsman Jason Mohammad will lead the side, which has four uncapped Twenty20 players in batsman Andre McCarthy, fast bowler Odean Smith, left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul and all-rounder Keemo Paul.

Teams:

Pakistan: Sarfraz Ahmed (captain), Ahmed Shehzad, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Hussain Talat, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali, Rahat Ali, Usman Khan Shinwari, Shaheen Shah Afridi.

West Indies: Jason Mohammed (captain), Samuel Badree, Rayad Emrit, Andre Fletcher, Andre McCarthy, Keemo Paul, Veerasammy Permaul, Rovman Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Marlon Samuels, Odean Smith, Chadwick Walton, Kesrick Williams.

DUBAI: Another aggressive batting display by Luke Ronchi made the 155 chase look easy for Islamabad United in the qualifier against Karachi Kings in Dubai on Sunday.

What could be easily described as ‘the best innings of the PSL’, the Kiwi batsman scored 94 runs off 39 balls, including 12 fours and five sixes on the strike rate of 241.02. The Duminy-led team completed their chase in 12.3 overs.

United secured the most convincing victory in the tournament’s history in terms of balls (45 balls remaining); United’s 103 off 8.1 overs was the fastest team 100 in PSL.

Karachi, however, are not eliminated. They’ll face the winners of the first Eliminator between Quetta and Peshawar.

Resilient fifties by Colin Ingram and Joe Denly lifted Karachi to 154-4 after Eoin Morgan opted to bat first. But the unstoppable Ronchi blasted the fastest half-century in PSL history (from just 19 balls) to make a mockery of Karachi bowling.

It appears that the lady luck was standing with the Kiwi opener as he was thrice dropped by the Kings’ players while he was on 56, 57 and 63.

1st inning

It was anything but an ideal start for Karachi; Mohammad Sami and Amad Butt gave Islamabad United early breakthroughs after Karachi came in to bat first at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Sami removed Khurram Manzoor (6) with a blinder of a catch off his own delivery, and Babar Azam (0) off the last ball of the same over, leaving Karachi at 17-2 after 4 overs.

Youngster Amad Butt dismissed skipper Eoin Morgan for 21 off his very first ball, as Karachi stumbled to 46-3.

But an unbeaten 68 off 39 balls by Ingram neutralised Islamabad’s bowling, taking Karachi to a respectable total despite a wobbly start.

He was helped by Denly, who was out hit wicket after a 46-ball 51.

Mohammad Sami led the bowling attack with 2 wickets in return for 20 runs off his 4 overs. Faheem Ashraf and Amad Butt took one wicket each.

Islamabad United were without captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who is out of cricket action due to a hairline fracture in his wrist.

South Africa’s JP Duminy led the side in Misbah’s absence. Sahibzada Farhan is in for Misbah, Samit Patel for Steven Finn, Mohammad Sami for Zafar Gohar, and Luke Ronchi for Chadwick Walton.

Karachi Kings were unchanged. Shahid Afridi played despite an injury scare earlier when he was reported to be suffering from knee pain and swelling.
