Having retired from international cricket in 2021, the 42-year-old Hafeez was surprisingly picked by Quetta Gladiators in PSL 2023 as an injury replacement after he remained unsold in the draft earlier. The T20 World Cup-winner with Pakistan shinned in Quetta’s record-breaking win over Peshawar Zalmi on Wednesday night in Rawalpindi.

For Quetta to remain in the race for the PSL 2023 knockouts, it was necessary that they win over Zalmi; thanks to an unbelievable hundred from Jason Roy and a handy cameo in the end by Hafeez, they were successful in their attempt.

Batting first, Peshawar registered a mammoth 240 for two inside 20 overs as their captain Babar Azam scored his maiden PSL hundred. England’s Jason Roy then led Quetta’s run-chase and registered the highest individual score (145* off 65 balls) in the PSL history.Hafeez also chipped in with an exceptional unbeaten 41 off 18 balls, including six fours and two sixes. Though with the ball in hand, the off-spinner Hafeez conceded 20 runs in two overs without picking up a wicket.

Hafeez, who made his international debut back in 2003, is Pakistan’s one of the most-prolific all-rounders. While in 55 Tests, he scored 3652 runs at an average of 37.65, Hafeez amassed 6614 runs in the 218 One-Dayers played, averaging at nearly 33. Even in the shortest in which he excelled the most, the right-handed Hafeez has 2514 runs and 61 wickets to his name.
