Islamabad, 23 April 2025: Kane Williamson is expected to arrive in Lahore tonight to join Karachi Kings for the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10.
Williamson, previously unavailable due to IPL commentary duties, will join the squad and start training tomorrow.
His addition is seen as a timely boost to the team’s batting unit as they prepare for a crucial encounter against Quetta Gladiators on April 25 at Gaddafi Stadium.
Although Williamson is yet to make his PSL debut, his vast experience in the shortest format is expected to strengthen Karachi’s campaign.

Saad Baig, who was initially included as cover for Williamson, will continue to stay with the squad as an additional option.
In a separate development, the team management is awaiting an update on the fitness of fast bowler Adam Milne.

The Kiwi pacer suffered a knee issue during the match against Lahore Qalandars and was rested afterward as a precaution. The extent of his injury is yet to be confirmed.
Karachi Kings currently sit second on the points table, having registered three wins in five outings.
Their most recent victory came in a hard-fought match against Peshawar Zalmi, where they successfully chased a modest target of 149.
Captain David Warner led from the front with a composed 60 off 47 balls, while Khushdil Shah contributed a steady 23* off 17 deliveries to seal the win.
With Williamson’s arrival and Milne’s injury status in focus, the coming days will be crucial for the Kings as they push toward playoff qualification.
