Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has officially announced his departure from Quetta Gladiators ahead of the 10th Pakistan Super League (PSL) season.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Sarfaraz posted a photo with franchise owner Nadeem Omar and expressed his gratitude.
“My journey with Quetta Gladiators has ended after nine proud and remarkable years,” he wrote, thanking Nadeem Omar for his support and extending best wishes to the team while appreciating the management, especially Azam Bhai.
Sarfaraz, part of the Gladiators since the PSL’s debut, was released earlier this month, making him eligible for the players’ draft for the first time since 2016.
In 86 PSL matches for Quetta, the wicketkeeper-batter scored 1,525 runs at an average of 29.32, including seven half-centuries. He notably led the team to their only PSL title in 2019.
Sarfaraz captained the Gladiators for eight seasons before being replaced by South Africa’s Rilee Rossouw in the previous edition.
