The <strong>Pakistan Super League</strong> (PSL) has finally come to a close after some breath-taking action. Islamabad United, who looked dominating throughout the tournament emerged the victorious team. In a low-scoring final against the Peshawar Zalmi, IU won by 3 wickets with 3.1 overs to spare. Luke Ronchi, who has had a phenomenal tournament throughout was adjudged the &#8216;Man of the Match&#8217; as well as the &#8216;Man of the series&#8217;.

Ronchi ended up as the leading run-scorer in the league while <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/psl-2018-look-who-has-accompanied-wahab-riaz-for-the-press-conference/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Wahab Riaz</strong></a> topped the bowling charts. There were some exceptional individual performances throughout the league. Some of the players put up consistent performances throughout and deserve a chance in the national team.

Here is the list of <strong>Pakistan</strong> players who might get a national call-up after an impressive PSL:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-224926" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Wahab-Riaz-1.jpg" alt="Wahab Riaz sports a moustache" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-224926" class="wp-caption-text">Wahab Riaz sports a mustache.

Any cricket fan would have goosebumps when they recall his spell against Shane Watson. That particular spell had everything- fire, passion, aggression. However, Riaz hasn&#8217;t been at his best with the ball in the recent times. He lost his place in the Pakistan team. Furthermore, his ability to get the ball back into right-handers was on the downside. It was a very tough period for him but boy didn&#8217;t he do some miracles in the PSL.

Riaz who represented the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/psl-2018-final-islamabad-united-vs-peshawar-zalmi-match-predictions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Peshawar Zalmi</strong></a> this year was the wrecker-in-chief for his side with the ball. He was absolutely brilliant and was a vital cog in the team. Riaz has picked 18 wickets at an average of 19.11 in 13 games this year. He bowled many useful spells and ended the season as the leading wicket-taker.

The 36-year-old is a highly promising batsman and allures everyone with his beautiful drives. The purity of his cuts and pulls make him one of the promising person with the bat in hand. However,  his glovework is always on the downside and is a major reason for him being axed. Apart from letting his team down behind the stumps, Kamran form with the bat also declined in the recent times. The PSL was the perfect platform for him to make a mark and come back to the national team.

And, Kamran didn&#8217;t disappoint the fans one bit. He finished as the second highest run-scorer in the tournament just behind Luke Ronchi by 10 runs. Although Kamran didn&#8217;t have a great outing to see his team through in the finals, he would be proud of what he has achieved. Scoring runs at an average close to 40, Kamran definitely deserves a chance in the national side.

The 23-year-old left arm swing bowler first made headlines in 2013 when he was just 18. Young Usman was then named in the ODI and T20I squads against Sri Lanka. Although he wasn&#8217;t picked in the ODIs, he got a chance to represent his country in the T20Is. From then, his career saw many ups and downs. Although Usman remained on the fringes of selection, an opportunity in the national side seemed all but probable. Usman wasn&#8217;t picked in the national side after the series against the Lankans in October 2017.

However, Usman has stunned everyone with his fantabulous performances. Playing for the Karachi Kings, Usman picked 16 wickets in just 9 games. He was the third highest wicket-takers and stood fourth on the list of best average with an average of 16.12. He played a very important role in the success of the Kings and would definitely be in the reckoning for an international call-up.

PSL this year was more of a bowlers tournament. The bowlers reigned their supremacy and proved a point as to why Pakistan is known for producing great quicks. The 29-year-old Rahat Ali was no exception and was one of the better bowlers in the tournament. After being axed from the national side in 2016, Ali has had some patchy times. He wasn&#8217;t as consistent and was one of the reasons for him being axed.

But PSL 2018 was a game changer for Ali. Playing for the Quetta Gladiators, Ali ended the tournament as the fourth highest wicket-taker. In 11 games that he played, Ali picked 15 wickets at an average just above 21. On the back of these stellar performances, Ali would be hoping to make a comeback into the national team.<br>

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-227404" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Mohammad-Sami.jpg" alt="Mohammad Sami of the Islamabad United" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-227404" class="wp-caption-text">Mohammad Sami received the player of the match award. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The fifth and last person on this list is yet again the bowler. Mohammad Sami, who is a veteran fast bowler was around for quite a while but didn&#8217;t get to play as much as he would like for Pakistan. Sami made his Test and ODI debut in 2001 and consistently bowled over 145 KMPH. However, he sprayed the ball all around making the life easier for the batsmen and resulting in him being axed. Sami last played for Pakistan in the T20I WC 2016.

Currently, he is plying his trade in the T20 leagues around the world. At 37, Sami&#8217;s express pace still remains and can take the batsmen by surprise. This is what he exactly did in PSL this year as he picked 13 wickets in 11 games ending up as one of the leading wicket-takers. Although the age is not on his side, he would still fancy making a come back taking players like Misbah Ul Haq as inspiration. His experience would be very useful for Pakistan in the World Cup 2019.

PSL 2018: 5 Pakistan players who might get a national call-up

The PSL2018 this year was a tournament where the bowlers dominated. Here is a look at the players who could make a comeback to the national team. In adding.
