Karachi Kings have brought in South Africa batter Reeza Hendricks into their PSL 2026 squad as a late replacement. Hendricks replaces West Indies opener Johnson Charles, who will miss the season for personal reasons.

This will be Hendricks’ second stint in the PSL. He represented Multan Sultans in 2024, scoring 304 runs in eight innings at an average of 43.42 and a strike rate of 134.51. An experienced top-order batter, Hendricks has played 296 T20s and has 64 fifties and five centuries in the format.

Hendricks adds to Kings’ experienced overseas contingent that includes David Warner, Adam Zampa, Moeen Ali and UAE’s Muhammad Waseem.

Kings enter PSL 2026 looking to build on their third-place finish last season, which was also their first playoffs finish since 2021.

Their campaign starts against Quetta Gladiators, the losing finalists from last season, on March 27.
