Peter Moores is the team's coach, and Babar Azam serves as the team's current
captain. After defeating their rival Lahore Qalandars in the championship game on November 17,
2020, they earned their first Pakistan Super League (PSL) championship in PSL V.
Moores, who twice served as England's manager, will join the team for the 2022 season, which is
scheduled to begin on January 27. Peter Moores has been named as Karachi Kings' head coach for
the next Pakistan Super League (PSL) season.
Karachi Kings won the PSL championship in 2020, while the 2021 season saw them place fourth in
the round robin round and lose to Peshawar Zalmi in the knockout round.
Moores stated that being able to participate and become a member of the Karachi Kings family is
very thrilling. The quality of the local talent makes it one of the top events in the world, and
he can't wait to play in it.
Tom Moores, Moores' son, has tasted the PSL thrilling game and was once a player for the Multan
Sultans.
The coach said that he is very excited about this new role. They are going to attempt to play
some really exciting, aggressive cricket, which is made even better by the fact that it's being
played in Pakistan with all of its traditions and emotions.
Moores has extensive coaching expertise, having coached numerous club and international teams
during his career. On two separate instances, he even held the key position for the England
squad.
Herschelle Gibbs, a former South African batter who coached the Karachi Kings in the 2021
season, will be replaced by Moores. Moores will have plenty to prove because the Mohammad
Rizwan-led team will enter the PSL 2022 as the defending champions. Moores expressed excitement
about working with the Karachi team in relation to his appointment. Additionally, he seems eager
to collaborate with Pakistan's own artists.
Tom, Peter's son, is notable for having previously played for Multan Sultans, a PSL team.
Speaking about the Karachi Kings, their PSL 2021 season was a supernova. The team had a terrible
start in the league and dropped three of their first six games. Although they managed to get
fourth, they weren't anticipated to perform well in the qualifying round.
However, Mohammad Rizwan's team triumphed despite all the odds. Rizwan, the captain, took the
initiative and always delivered. In reality, Babar Azam's 544 runs in the competition won out
above his 500 runs in 12 games. Young pacer Shahnawaz Dahani was the bowling unit's major
wrecker. He ended the match as the competition's leading wicket-taker, taking 20 wickets in just
11 innings. The team hopes to repeat their valiant actions in the following season as well.
