As Chairman of Peshawar Zalmi, my heart is full of pride and gratitude tonight. Seeing our team crowned champions of Pakistan Super League Season 11 feels incredibly special — a season defined not just by results, but by purpose, belief, and the quiet determination to keep showing up and delivering.
This title belongs first and foremost to the players. From the very beginning, they embraced the mission with clarity and heart. Their discipline, consistency, and collective spirit turned belief into reality. They truly earned every bit of this success.
I want to especially recognise our captain, Babar Azam (@babarazam258). Leading from the front as the tournament’s highest run-scorer while carrying the weight of expectation with such composure, class, and dignity is something very special. He has been an outstanding leader and an even better ambassador for the game.
None of this would have been possible without the tireless dedication of our coaching staff and support team. Their thoughtful planning, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment behind the scenes created the perfect environment for the players to flourish. I’m deeply thankful for their professionalism and care.
I also extend warm appreciation to our team management for their strong leadership and steady guidance throughout what was a demanding season.
A heartfelt thank you to Mohsin Naqvi (@MohsinnaqviC42) and Salman Naseer (@salnaseer), along with the entire PSL organisation. Under difficult circumstances, they worked hard to deliver a tournament that brought joy to millions of fans and maintained the prestige of Pakistan’s biggest cricket league.
To our sponsors and partners — your continued faith and support have been invaluable. This victory is yours too.
And to our incredible Zalmi fans… from day one, your passion and belief have lifted us. You stood with us through every moment, and this trophy is as much yours as it is the team’s. Thank you for being the heartbeat of this franchise.
We set our standards high. We stayed true to them. And now, together, we stand as champions.
Yellow Storm 🏆
Alhamdulillah, CHAMPIONS 🏆
So proud of my team, we stood together through everything. Hard work never goes unnoticed.
I was once a ball picker, standing on the sidelines, dreaming of moments like this. Now I wish, If even one ball picker today picks up a bat tomorrow believing they can become a cricketer, then THIS VICTORY MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME.
Grateful to my family, Zalmi management, and my friends for always being in my corner, no matter what 💛

“I was not playing at the start of the tournament, but Babar Azam gave me confidence and said, ‘Don’t be disheartened, you will get your chance later in this PSL.’ He is a great captain, and I love playing under him. Congratulations to all Zalmi fans.”
Babar Azam’s first ever T20 title as captain. In a season where he also scored record 588 runs and hit two centuries. It is fitting that it happened in Lahore where he grew up playing cricket and made his journey from ball boy to champion.

On my personal behalf and on behalf of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, I sincerely thank President Trump for graciously accepting our request to extend the ceasefire to allow ongoing diplomatic efforts to take their course.
With the trust and confidence reposed in, Pakistan shall continue its earnest efforts for negotiated settlement of conflict.
I sincerely hope that both sides will continue to observe the ceasefire and be able to conclude a comprehensive ‘Peace Deal’ during the second round of talks scheduled at Islamabad for a permanent end to the conflict.
