Another star NZ all-rounder register for PSL 10 player draft

New Zealand's all-rounder, Michael Bracewell, has officially registered for the highly anticipated player draft for the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

The announcement was made on the league's official social media platforms, accompanied by a banner reading: "Michael Bracewell, ready to bring the Kiwi spirit to the PSL Draft."

The 33-year-old Bracewell, known for his batting and bowling skills, has played 27 T20I matches for New Zealand, scoring 259 runs at a strike rate of 129.50, including two half-centuries. With the ball, he has taken 28 wickets at an average of 18.28 and an economy rate of 6.93.

Bracewell’s extensive experience in franchise leagues adds to his appeal. He has played in Major League Cricket, the Vitality Blast, and the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he represented Royal Challengers Bangalore in five matches, scoring 58 runs and claiming six wickets.

Bracewell becomes the seventh Kiwi player and the 29th foreign player to register for the PSL 10 draft. The event will be a historic one, as it marks the first time Gwadar in Balochistan will host the PSL draft, which is scheduled for January 11, 2025.

The draft pick order has also been revealed, with Lahore Qalandars, the two-time champions, making the first pick in the platinum category, followed by Karachi Kings. Quetta Gladiators, Peshawar Zalmi, Multan Sultans, and Islamabad United will make the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth picks, respectively.
