Multan Sultans

• Reece Topley: The fast bowler is managing an injury to ensure his participation in the IPL and the T20 World Cup. His absence is a precautionary measure to avoid aggravating the injury.
• Ihsanullah: The promising fast bowler, who made headlines with his pace in PSL 2023, is currently recovering from an elbow injury. His injury was reportedly mismanaged by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), leading to complications. Multan Sultans' owner, Ali Khan Tareen, expressed concerns over Ihsanullah's ability to return to his pre-injury form due to scarring from a previous surgery. Despite this, Ihsanullah has vowed to return to bowling at 150 kph within a month, showing determination to overcome his setbacks.

Peshawar Zalmi

• Corbin Bosch: Although not due to injury, Bosch has opted out of the PSL to join the IPL as an injury replacement for Mumbai Indians. This decision has left Peshawar Zalmi seeking a replacement.
• Babar Azam: The captain of Peshawar Zalmi suffered an injury during a practice session, causing concern for the team. Although the exact nature of the injury is unknown, it appears to be a precautionary measure, and there is hope that Babar will be fit to play in the first match of the season. His performance is crucial for Zalmi, who last won the PSL title in 2017.
• Saim Ayub: There was a concern with regards to his injury, but he confirmed that he is ready to comeback and join the PSL season this year.

Lahore Qalandars

• Fakhar Zaman: Initially ruled out of the Champions Trophy 2025 due to injury, Fakhar Zaman has regained full fitness and is set to play in the opening match of PSL 2025. His return is a significant boost for Lahore Qalandars, especially given the overlap with the IPL, which could affect viewership.
