Islamabad, 14 May, 2025: Sikandar Raza has clarified that he will continue to be part of PSL 10, putting to rest speculation about his potential absence from the remainder of the tournament.
The Zimbabwean cricketer took to Instagram on Wednesday, posting a picture in Lahore Qalandars’ kit with the caption, “Aa raha hoon In Sha Allah” (I’m coming, God willing), indicating his availability for the upcoming fixtures.
Reports earlier this week had suggested that Raza might miss the rest of the season due to Zimbabwe’s home Test series starting May 22.

The PSL is set to resume on May 17 after a brief suspension caused by geopolitical tensions in the region. Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi will kick off the restart in Rawalpindi.
