“We’ve always aimed for this franchise to be similar to a family, and these two appointments are a continuation of that belief,” the owner of the franchise Ali Naqvi said to media at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday while announcing the new appointments.

“Rumman has come leaps and bounds from when we picked him up in the first PSL draft. And the way he has represented the franchise over the past two years made him the ideal candidate for this role,” he said.

He added that it was the perfect time for him to be given the responsibility “as this allows him to be groomed under the tutelage of a great mentor like Misbah for this season.”

“The same is true of Saeed. He’s been part of the family for two years and we have nothing but praise for how he has represented us. He’s a great person, and a great player, and I am sure the young guys will learn a lot from him.”

Naqvi said that the team’s staff had recommended Ajmal for the role, and that the franchise has “always left the cricketing decisions to the cricket people.”

Regarding the appointments, Dean Jones, the team’s head coach, said: “We believe that Rumman is a future leader for our franchise, and more importantly, a future leader for Pakistan. We have been most impressed by him not only as a cricketer but as an individual, and we will try to develop him even further in both these aspects.

“Saeed has been our chief entertainment officer, and we have huge respect for him as a cricketer and a future coach,” Jones said.

“We have already seen him help develop Shadab Khan in PSL 2 and we want him to continue doing that. This opportunity here helps him expand his coaching skills.

“He’s a great presence in the dressing room, and we wanted to make sure that he continued to be a part of it, and this allows us to do that,” he added.
