The Karachi Kings are revamping the PSL 2026 franchise with a change in their squad as they are now bringing in Reeza Hendricks instead of Johnson Charles, who has removed himself from the event for personal reasons, with the addition of this veteran player.

PSL Experience and T20 Record of Reeza Hendricks

Hendricks has made two appearances in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), last playing for Multan Sultans 2024, where he recorded 304 runs in 8 innings (43.42 avg, 134.51 strike rate). With over 296 T20 appearances and 64 50’s and 5 100’s, he brings a wealth of experience from having played internationally.

The addition of Reeza Hendricks significantly strengthens the Karachi Kings overseas roster. Other current international players on the Kings include: David Warner, Adam Zampa, Moeen Ali, and Muhammad Waseem (UAE).

The combination of all these international players on one team provides the Kings a robust line-up that should give them a better chance of success during PSL 2026.
