ISLAMABAD – The mid-season trade window of PSL 4 will be opened later thisweek, allowing the franchises to restructure their respective team andexchange two players for the remainder of the season.Teams will do negotiating for the trade subject to players’ own consent andthe window will be opened for 48 hours.Right now every team has at least five unused players and teams will nowget a chance to replace them and get new players for the remainder of theseason.
It was agreed before the season that, until Friday matches, if any playerhas not played for four games then he will be eligible for the transfer andcan be exchanged with the player of the same category and pay scale.The idea was pitched last season however, it was not implemented. But itseems like PSL 2019 has finally implemented the new rule this time, Cricketcountry news reported .After Friday’s doubleheader, every team will have played 4 matches each andthe window is likely to open immediately.The newly implemented rule is a wonderful opportunity for the franchises torestructure the team and formulate new strategies. It is also a greatopportunity for those players who have failed to get a chance for theirrespective franchise so far.
For example, it is a golden chance for a player like Aaron Summers who isfinding it difficult to find a break in Karachi Kings who already havebowlers like Sohail Khan, Usman Shinwari and Mohammad Amir.Same is the case of Haris Sohail who has failed to get featured for LahoreQalandars in any of the clashes so far.
