Hales will turn out for Islamabad United, whom he represented in four matches in the third edition of the PSL last year, while Jordan will once again link-up with Peshawar Zalmi – he had to leave them midway through the league stage of the tournament to play the T20Is in the Caribbean.

Jordan, however, was in brilliant form in the Caribbean – he claimed six wickets to finish the series as the joint-highest wicket-taker. He failed to make the Zalmi XI before departing for the Caribbean, but his form in the T20Is might just push his case for selection.

Zalmi finished at the top of the table after the league stages. They will take on Quetta Gladiators in the Qualifier on March 13 before Islamabad and Karachi Kings clash in the Eliminator on March 14.
