Star opener Saim Ayub and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Haris have officially joined the Peshawar Zalmi squad in Rawalpindi ahead of the much-anticipated Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10, which kicks off on April 11.
In a video released by the franchise, Haris was seen driving Ayub to the team hotel, where the duo arrived in high spirits and greeted fans in Pashto, reflecting the Zalmi culture and fanbase connection.
The arrival of the explosive left-hander comes just a day after he was declared fit to feature in PSL 10, marking the end of his rehabilitation from an ankle injury that had kept him out of action for over six weeks.
Saim Ayub had sustained the injury during the Test series against South Africa earlier this year.
After being sidelined from the Champions Trophy and the white-ball tour of New Zealand, the 21-year-old underwent an intensive recovery programme in London before returning home to celebrate Eid with family.
His rehab included strengthening and balance-focused exercises such as single-leg squats, tightrope walks, and single-leg jumps — all aimed at regaining stability and match fitness.
