The Shaheen Afridi-led team will enter the PSL 2024 with a fresh start after eliminating Multan Sultans in a fiercely contested final. Rashid Khan, their top all-around player, chose not to play because he is still recovering from an injury.

Rashid Khan's absence from the PSL 2024 will be the first challenge for the Lahore Qalandars, who may look to youngster Sayed Faridoun and Zimbabwean all-rounder Sikandar Raza to step up to the vacancy.

Other than that, there is no shortage of ability in other important roles. The steady performances of stars like Shaheen Afridi, and Fakhar Zaman, among others, have been the foundation of the show's success over the past two seasons.

The most recent additions to the club, which was strengthened by the PSL 2024 draft late last year, were bowler Muhammad Imran Junior, South African batsman Rassie van der Dussen, and English all-rounder Dan Lawrence. Later, Sri Lankan Bhanuka Rajapaksha was added to the team. Although there is no shortage of pace bowlers for Lahore Qalandars, the club management decided to sign Muhammad Imran Jr. to strengthen the lineup.

With Fakhar Zaman leading the order, the Lahore Qalanadars seem to have everything under control when it comes to batting. It is anticipated that Dan Lawrence (partially available), Shahibzada Farhan, Van van Dussen, and Abdullah Shafique would all perform in their middle-order roles. Once more, Qalandars will rely on their two African players.
