Houston Hurricanes set to face Quetta Gladiators in Karachi:

Quetta Gladiators, one of PSL’s leading franchises, is set to host the Minor league cricket franchise, Houston Hurricanes, in Karachi later this month. Houston Hurricanes will travel to Pakistan to face Quetta Gladiators in a three-match series at National Bank Cricket Arena. The series will be played from January 27-29.

Houston Hurricanes, the franchise owned by two businessmen Tanweer Ahmed and Mangesh Chaudhari, captained by Pakistani-born Usman Rafiq, compete in the Minor cricket league, an American T20 cricket league. Houston Hurricanes squad consists of several contract players, including a former Pakistani cricketer Nauman Anwer. Players traveling include Nauman Anwer, Shayan Jahangir, Lahiru Milantha, Shehan Jayasuriya, Nosthush Kenjige, Usman Rafiq, Mohammad Mohsin, and Mathew Tromp. With this series, Houston Hurricanes will become the first American franchise to play against any of the PSL franchises.

The former Pakistan super league champion, Quetta Gladiators, is also regarded as the most consistent and well-balanced side led by Pakistan’s former captain Sarfaraz Ahmad. Sarfaraz Ahmad, who led Pakistan to the no.1 spot in the T20i ranking and helped the team lift the ICC Champions Trophy, has a squad of experienced and young Pakistani players like Umar Akmal, Iftikhar Ahmad, Mohammad Hussnain, and Naseem Shah.

“Minor League Cricket is proud to see the Houston Hurricanes innovating in high performance development by heading to Pakistan for this series, a huge step for American cricket that will open further doors to elite-level competition for our players. MiLC congratulates the Houston Hurricanes and their ownership, Including Tanweer Ahmed and Mangesh Chaudhari, on their vision for this historic tour,” said Zubin Surkari, MiLC Tournament Director.
