It’s not a risk to sign Sharjeel Khan. I’ve worked with him before, and I know what he’s capable of. He has the array of shots to give us explosive starts, and I’m sure he’ll be looking to make a good comeback and will be looking to reclaim a place in the Pakistan side.

Sharjeel has recently concluded the rehabilitation process which included attending and delivering lectures on the PCB Anti-Corruption Code, visits to orphanage homes as part of social service and participating in integration sessions with the Pakistan cricket team players and player support personnel.
