Tom Kohler-Cadmore
Tom Kohler-Cadmore, the English batsman, has been retained by Peshawar Zalmi. Despite not playing in the IPL, he remains a key player for the team and is expected to deliver strong performances.
Rovman Powell
Rovman Powell’s retention is uncertain due to his commitments with the IPL, where he plays for Delhi Capitals. While there’s a chance he might return if Daren Sammy remains the coach, there’s a 70% likelihood he’ll prioritize the IPL for financial reasons. If Powell doesn’t join, Peshawar Zalmi might retain Asif Ali as a replacement.
