Karachi Kings Secure England’s Jason Roy for PSL 11

Karachi Kings have bolstered their lineup for the ongoing 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) by signing England’s destructive opener Jason Roy as a replacement for Muhammad Waseem, who has been released by the franchise due to his national duty commitments with the UAE. The team has also confirmed that Khuzaima bin Tanveer has departed the squad for the same reason. Both players were promptly asked to return to their respective countries to participate in the UAE’s ongoing 50-over tournament. While Jason Roy has now taken Waseem’s place, Karachi Kings stated that the replacement for Khuzaima will be announced at a later date.

Jason Roy brings a wealth of experience to the Karachi Kings squad, having previously played for Quetta Gladiators across five seasons from 2017 to 2024. In 38 PSL matches, he has amassed an impressive 1,260 runs at an average of 36, coupled with a strike rate of 146.51. His notable performances include two centuries and eight half-centuries. His arrival provides Karachi with a seasoned top-order option at a crucial juncture of the tournament as they seek to fortify their campaign. Currently positioned fourth on the points table with three wins and two defeats from five matches, Karachi Kings will face Islamabad United in their next game on April 16 at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi.
