Peshawar Zalmi Sign Zimbabwe’s Brian Bennett Ahead of PSL 11

Peshawar Zalmi have strengthened their squad for Pakistan Super League Season 11 by bringing in Zimbabwe’s rising batter Brian Bennett. The signing was confirmed by team owner Shahid Afridi via social media, where he welcomed Bennett to the Zalmi setup. The young right-hander now joins Sikandar Raza as one of the few Zimbabwean players in the tournament, adding greater variety and strength to the squad.

Bennett earned attention after an impressive showing at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, where he finished among the top run-scorers. The 22-year-old collected 292 runs in six matches at a remarkable average of 146, including three fifties. His best performance was an unbeaten 97 against India national cricket team during the Super Eights, maintaining a strike rate of 134.

In his T20I career so far, Bennett has played 58 matches and scored 1,888 runs, registering one century and 12 half-centuries. PSL 11 will also be his first appearance in an overseas T20 league, offering him a new stage to display his abilities.

The upcoming PSL season begins on March 26, with games scheduled to take place behind closed doors in Karachi and Lahore. This edition marks an expansion to eight teams, introducing new franchises including Rawalpindi Pindis. A total of 44 matches will be played over 39 days, setting the stage for an action-packed tournamen
