Also, if media reports of ESPN Cricinfo are to be believed, then Pakistan Cricket Board had offered Shane Watson a fee of around 2 million dollars. But Watson has not accepted this offer of PCB.

Also, there was a big change in the leadership of the team, Riley Russo was given the command of the team in place of Sarfaraz Ahmed. However, the team still could not make it to the playoffs in PSL.
