Former Quetta Gladiators captain Sarfaraz Ahmed would be seen in a “new and transitional role” in the Pakistan Super League franchise after being going unpicked in the PSL player draft, the team owner and coach have said.

“He will take on a new role with Quetta, primarily focused on coaching,” Gladiators owner Nadeem Omar said at a press conference in Lahore on Monday.

Head coach Moin Khan, who accompanied him at the event, also confirmed it to the reporters.
