‘I have fond memories of playing in Pakistan’

South Africa batsman Faf du Plessis will be among 21 foreign players in the Pakistan Super League playoffs, according to The Associated Press.

The PSL playoffs were postponed in March because of the coronavirus pandemic and will now be played between Nov. 14-17.

Du Plessis will be making his PSL debut and represent Peshawar Zalmi in Pakistan’s premier Twenty20 tournament.

He last visited the country in 2017 and led the ICC World XI in a three-match Twenty20 series in Lahore.
“I am very excited to join Peshawar Zalmi for the playoff stage games of PSL 2020,” du Plessis said in a statement, issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday.

“I have fond memories of playing in Pakistan when I toured with the ICC World XI in 2017 and I am sure this experience, although different due to COVID-19, will be a memorable one as well.”
