Pakistan opening batsman Ahmed Shehzad has revealed that he is in talks with a couple of Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchises ahead of this year’s tournament.

Shehzad, who was once Pakistan’s go-to opener, wasn’t selected by any team for PSL 8 and is now scrambling to find a side to play for before the competition gets underway on February 13.

Last year, he missed PSL 7 due to an injury and is now determined to make his comeback.

However, he admitted that he can’t force any team to pick him, but noted that he believes he would add a lot of value to any franchise.

“I am in talks with a couple of franchises. As a player, I can’t force anyone to pick me, but if a player brings value to the team, they should go for him,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.

PSL 8 will be held from February 13 to March 19 in Karachi, Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi.
