Due to his commitments with the English squad, Rashid, who was selected by Multan Sultans during the draught in December, would be absent from the competition.
The spinner will miss the nation’s largest cricket tournament, therefore on Wednesday, the 2021 champions will select his substitute (today). Brook, the main hitter for the defending champion Lahore Qalandars, won’t be available for the squad this season either.

Waninidu Hasaranga, Jason Roy, and Odean Smith’s replacements by Quetta Gladiators will only be partial.
