Qalandars Playing XI Updates

The Qalandars have been a little affected by the decision of the Pakistan Cricket Board to not allow multiple Pakistani international stars to take part in the tournament. They will thus miss Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Hafeez and Imad Wasim in the tournament. However, Shahid Afridi is their icon player and a game changer while Aqib Javed is their coach. Tom Banton and Chris Jordan are good names to have in the ranks along with Philip Salt, Samit Patel, Luke Ronchi and Jordan Clark.

The Qalandars have been affected by the exodus of several Pakistan cricket stars but they still have enough firepower to overcome the relatively new and small Team Abu Dhabi squad who will depend heavily on Moeen Ali and look lighter on paper at least.
