South Africa’s Faf du Plessis pulls out of IPL to play in PSL season – SUCH TV
Former South African captain Faf du Plessis on Saturday announced that he is pulling out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and will instead take on the challenge of playing in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) season.
In a post on Instagram, the renowned cricketer said that he would not put his name in the IPL auction this year.
“It’s a big decision, and one that comes with a lot of gratitude when I look back,” he wrote in his post.
While he expressed gratitude for the support of his teammates, coaches, and support staff during his 14-year stint in the IPL, du Plessis said that it was time for him to take on a “new challenge”.
“This year, I’ve chosen to take on a new challenge and will be playing in the upcoming PSL season,” he added.
“It’s an exciting step for me — a chance to experience something new, to grow it as a player, and to embrace a league filled with incredible talent and energy.”
The former South African captain said that he was looking forward to the Pakistani hospitality and the challenges that come with playing in the PSL.
The PSL is set for expansion this year, with the addition of two new franchises.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has earlier announced that the auction for two new PSL franchises will be held on January 6 next year.
Shortlisted cities under consideration for franchise allocation include Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Hyderabad, Sialkot, Muzaffarabad, and Gilgit.
Meanwhile, the owners of Lahore Qalandars, Islamabad United, Karachi Kings, and Quetta Gladiators have renewed their franchise contracts for another 10 years.
Multan Sultans’ Ali Tareen, however, has said that he will not be extending the PSL franchise contract, citing financial losses during his time with the franchise.
The Commanders return from their bye week searching for their first victory since Oct. 5. It won’t be easy against the Broncos, who have won eight straight.

The Carolina Panthers created havoc for the Los Angeles Rams and received a boost from the sloppy weather as they defeated the best team in the NFC, 31-28.
Carolina notched its seventh win of the year. It’s the first time they have won at least seven games since the 2022 season when Matt Rhule, and eventually Steve Wilks, were at the helm. The Panthers also snapped the Rams’ six-game winning streak.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford entered the game as the NFL MVP favorite. It seemed like he was going to have a big game as he led the team down for a touchdown on the opening drive. At the time, it was his 28th touchdown pass without an interception, which broke an NFL record.
The good vibes didn’t last long as Stafford threw an interception on his next drive and later had a pick six to Panthers cornerback Mike Jackson. The Panthers’ defense then forced Stafford to fumble the ball on the Rams’ final drive, which sunk any hopes of them coming back to force overtime or win the game.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young was 15-of-20 with 206 passing yards and three touchdown passes. He found rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan for a 43-yard go-ahead touchdown with 6:34 left in the game. It was McMillan’s only catch of the game.
