Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators are two teams that inspired and entertained a lot of cricket fans in both seasons of Pakistan Super League. After a marvellous performance in both seasons of PSL and winning the last season PSL Champion Trophy, Peshawar Zalmi is all set to host its very own Global Cricket League title Zalmi League 2018.
According to office Peshawar Zalmi Twitter account, Global Zalmi League 2018 will not represent the Pakistani provinces based teams at all rather the teams will be named on country names. Peshawar Zalmi owner Javed Afridi aims to hold Global Zalmi League 2018 before the start of Pakistani Super League 2018. In the league, there will be sixteen teams participating from sixteen countries including Pakistan.
Global Zalmi League will be held next year in UAE probably before the start of PSL 2018.
Get ready Zalmis for yet another exciting tournament. It’s coming bigger this time with 16 teams from different countries will participate in Global Zalmi League. Stay tuned for more updates! #ZalmiChampions #GZL pic.twitter.com/DlG6OPdGZN
