New Zealand Pacer Adam Milne Joins PSL Player Draft, Fifth Kiwi Bowl

The 2025 Pakistani Super League (PSL) season is heating up with the recent announcement of Adam Milne's registration for the player draft. Milne, a skilled New Zealand pace bowler, will join 23 other international cricketers in the highly anticipated event. This move marks the fifth New Zealand player to sign up for the draft, following in the footsteps of Colin Munro, Daryl Mitchell, Martin Guptill, and Tim Southee. The draft is set to take place on January 11, 2025, at an undisclosed venue.

Adam Milne's decision to join the PSL player draft comes on the heels of Tim Southee's registration, a 36-year-old veteran cricketer from New Zealand. Southee, known for his prolific wicket-taking skills, is a seasoned pro with 164 wickets in 126 T20I matches, making him the highest wicket-taker in T20I cricket history. His experience will undoubtedly bring a wealth of expertise to the competition.

Rassie van der Dussen, a talented South African batsman, has also registered for the draft. With an impressive strike rate of 131.86 and over 6000 runs under his belt, van der Dussen is a sought-after player. His experience in the PSL, where he has represented Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars, will undoubtedly be an asset to whichever team selects him. The draft pick order suggests that Lahore Qalandars will have the first pick, with Karachi Kings following closely behind.

The PSL's 10th season is shaping up to be one for the books, with a diverse and talented pool of international cricketers vying for spots. With players like Matthew Short, Shakib Al Hasan, and Martin Guptill already registered, the competition is heating up. The start time for the draft will be announced closer to the date, but cricket fans can rest assured that January 11, 2025, will be a date to remember.

The upcoming PSL draft promises to be an exciting event, as some of the world's top cricketers gear up to battle it out for spots in Pakistan's premier domestic T20 league. With teams like Lahore Qalandars, Karachi Kings, and Quetta Gladiators already set to make their mark, the stage is set for a thrilling competition that will leave fans on the edge of their seats.
