ISLAMABAD: Karachi Kings have made two changes to their squad for the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10, with Australian wicketkeeper-batter Ben McDermott and Pakistan Under-19 captain Saad Baig joining the side.
McDermott has been brought in to replace Bangladesh’s Litton Das, who was originally selected in the Silver Category during the HBL PSL 2025 Player Draft but has been ruled out after sustaining an injury during a training session ahead of the Kings’ opening match, according to Cricket Pakistan.

The dynamic Australian, known for his aggressive batting and adaptability, adds valuable T20 experience, having played in various leagues across the globe including the Big Bash League (BBL) and The Hundred.
Replacement for Kane Williamson
In addition, Karachi Kings have enlisted Pakistan U19 skipper and wicketkeeper-batter Saad Baig as a partial replacement for Kane Williamson.
