All You Need to Know About Quetta Gladiators
Quetta Gladiators have been disappointing over the past three editions as they have failed to make it to the playoffs. Gladiators were, perhaps, the most successful side in the first
four editions as they won the title once and finished runner-ups in two seasons. They have since fallen off as they have been unable to get over the line in crunch situations.

Quetta have tried to rectify the mistakes of the previous campaigns by picking up T20 superstars such as Wanindu Hasaranga, Odean Smith, and Martin Guptill.
The team will be led by Sarfaraz Ahmed and has the services of star Pakistani players such as Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Hasnain, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Naseem Shah.
The likes of Will Smeed and Jason Roy add extra quality to a solid core of players.Gladiators will be determined to return back to their glory days and make it to the playoffs for the first time in four seasons.

Quetta Gladiators PSL 8 Squad
Quetta Gladiators will be captained by former Pakistan captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed. The team includes star Pakistani players while their overseas contingent of Hasaranga, Odean Smith,
Will Smeed, Jason Roy Naveen-ul-Haq, and Martin Guptill is one of the best in the league.

Strengths
Strong Bowling Attack
Quetta’s strength this time lies in their bowling unit. The likes of Naseem Shah and Mohammad Hasnain have developed into magnificent fast bowlers while Mohammad Nawaz has also developed his game further.
The inclusion of world-class spinner, Wanindu Hasaranga and West Indies’ T20 specialist, Odean Smith, provides Quetta with a well-balanced star-quality attack. The likes of Naveen-ul-Haq and Umaid Asif provide
depth and quality to the overall squad.

Weaknesses
Quetta’s biggest issue in PSL 8 will be their bench strength. The drop in quality from their starting XI to the available options on the bench is huge which may have an adverse impact on their chances in the tournament.

X-Factor
Sri Lankan all-rounder, Wanindu Hasaranga, was one of the marquee signings in PSL 8. The world’s number-one T20 bowler has been a revelation since his debut in international cricket
and has proven his credentials all around the world.
