Peshawar exited in the group stage in the 2025 Pakistan Super League. They are currently coached by Ottis Gibson and captained by Babar Azam. Peshawar Zalmi will play their home matches for first time in their home city, after the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Apex Committee approved hosting fixtures at the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium. [2]

Squad

Pakistan Super League introduced an auction model for the first time in the 2026 season, allowing teams to select players by bidding in Pakistani rupees. [3] Teams were also allowed to directly sign one foreign player who was not part of previous season. [3] Zalmi's signed Aaron Hardie as their directly signed player. Teams were also allowed to retain up to 4 players who were part of their squads in previous seasons, while new teams were allowed to sign 4 players before the auction to match with other franchises. [4] Peshawar retained Babar Azam, Abdul Samad, Sufiyan Muqeem and Ali Raza from their squad. [5] [6]

Player auction for the PSL 11 was held on 11 February 2026. [5] Following is the full squad of Peshawar Zalmi after the player auction and retentions. [7]
