Despite having named so many Pakistani cricketers, which also included current and former international players, Khawaja did not name the likes of Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, or Shaheen Afridi in his list of most impressive cricketers.
PSL included several new players in this season of the competition, and some truly performed to the best of their abilities. One such player, as per Usman Khawaja, is the Pakistani youngster Sameer Minhas.
He averaged 38.77 with a strike rate of 155, which impressed the Australian great. He also reasoned that he is impressive based on his young age, and missing out on a few occasions is the nature of the T20 format.
Khawaja looked impressed with Ali Raza's massive talent.
Playing for the title-winning squad of Peshawar Zalmi, he has played in 14 matches in his PSL career and has picked 22 wickets. In 2025, he played in five matches and picked up 12 wickets, while he also picked up 10 wickets in 2026, while also picking up a hat-trick in this season of the PSL.
Two 30+ players are included in Usman Khawaja's list of impressive players.
After having named two Pakistani youngsters, Usman Khawaja next named Dian Forrestor, the 25-year-old youngster from South Africa. Having amassed 132 runs in the season, he played brilliantly in the games he starred in for the Pindiz.
He sarcastically mentioned Iftikhar Ahmed as the other youngster, while the 35-year-old's turnaround and contributions in some of Zalmi's wins truly impressed the Australian. Khawaja was impressed by how Iftikhar played a role with the ball and contributed not only with some wickets but also with some economical overs in the powerplay.
