Here are all the Pakistan internationals who have participated in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Rizwan is set to replace Afghanistan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi, who will leave the CPL to join the national team for their tri-series against Pakistan and the UAE. Earlier this week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/series\/asia-cup-2025\/cricket-news\/babar-azam-mohammad-rizwan-overlooked-as-pakistan-announce-asia-cup-2025-squad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Rizwan was left out of Pakistan&#8217;s squad for that series as well as the Asia Cup<\/a>which follows it, meaning he is available for the remainder of the tournament.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/players\/babar-azam-59429\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Babar Azam<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/players\/naseem-shah-69956\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Naseem Shah<\/a> were the other major names omitted from that squad. Naseem is also playing in this year&#8217;s CPL for the Patriots.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/cricket-news\/pcb-announce-new-central-contracts-babar-rizwan-demoted-no-player-top-category-veteran-quick-returns-five-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">PCB\u2019s new central contracts: Babar &amp; Rizwan demoted, no player in top category<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Three Pakistan internationals have played over 50 CPL matches, since the league&#8217;s inception in 2013. In the latest game on August 20, 2025, Antigua and Barbuda Falcons captain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/players\/imad-wasim-11025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Imad Wasim<\/a> went past <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/players\/imad-wasim-11025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Shoaib Malik<\/a>, to record the most appearances by a Pakistan international in the competition, with 68. He has also played for the Jamaica Tallawahs.<\/p>\n<p>Left-arm quick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/players\/sohail-tanvir-3974\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Sohail Tanvir<\/a> played 59 CPL games for three franchises, the last of which came in 2020 with the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. He had represented the Guyana Amazon Warriors for three seasons and the St Lucia Zouks for one before then. Two other left-arm pacers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/players\/wahab-riaz-4226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Wahab Riaz<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/players\/muhammad-amir-72517\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Mohammad Amir<\/a>, Pakistan&#8217;s only members of the 400 T20 wickets-club, have also been active CPL participants. Amir, in fact, has represented the most CPL franchises of any Pakistan player, with four.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>At the other end of the scale are those cricketers who, far from being mainstays in the league, have only occasionally been a part. Nine Pakistan internationals have made five or fewer appearances in the league, many in its early seasons. Babar Azam, for example, played five games for the Guyana Amazon Warriors in 2017, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/players\/azhar-sagar-485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Azhar Mahmood<\/a> played a solitary game for the Barbados Tridents in 2013. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/players\/nasir-jamshed-4216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Opening batter Nasir Jamshed<\/a> played thrice for the Trinidad &amp; Tobago Red Steel in 2014.      <\/p>\n<p> Every Pakistan international to play in the Caribbean Premier League, full list Player International caps CPL matches CPL team(s) Imad Wasim 130 68 Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, Jamaica Tallawahs Shoaib Malik 446 67 Barbados Tridents,<br \/>Guyana Amazon Warriors Sohail Tanvir 121 59 Guyana Amazon Warriors,<br \/>St Kitts and Nevis Patriots,<br \/>St Lucia Zouks Mohammad Hafeez 392 44 Guyana Amazon Warriors,<br \/>St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Mohammad Amir 159 41 Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, Barbados Royals,<br \/>Jamaica Tallawahs,<br \/>Trinbago Knight Riders Wahab Riaz 154 28 Barbados Tridents,<br \/>St Lucia Kings Umar Akmal 221 26 Barbados Tridents,<br \/>Guyana Amazon Warriors,<br \/>Trinbago Knight Riders Kamran Akmal 268 18 St Lucia Stars,<br \/>Trinidad &amp; Tobago Red Steel Asif Ali 79 15 Jamaica Tallawahs,<br \/>St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Saim Ayub 56 13 Guyana Amazon Warriors Mohammad Sami 136 12 Jamaica Tallawahs,<br \/>St Lucia Stars Misbah-ul-Haq 276 11 Barbados Tridents,<br \/>St Lucia Zouks Naseem Shah 80 11 St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Shadab Khan 188 11 Guyana Amazon Warriors,<br \/>Trinbago Knight Riders Ahmed Shehzad 153 10 Barbados Tridents,<br \/>Jamaica Tallawahs Mohammad Irfan 86 10 Barbados Tridents Shahid Afridi 524 10 St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Haider Ali 37 9 Jamaica Tallawahs Usama Mir 17 6 Antigua and Barbuda Falcons,<br \/>St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Babar Azam 321 5 Guyana Amazon Warriors Fakhar Zaman 186 5 Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Hasan Ali 148 5 St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Mohammad Hasnain 43 4 Trinbago Knight Riders Nasir Jamshed 68 3 Trinidad &amp; Tobago Red Steel Yasir Shah 75 3 Trinbago Knight Riders Usman Qadir 26 2 St Lucia Kings Azhar Mahmood 164 1 Barbados Tridents Iftikhar Ahmed 98 1 Guyana Amazon Warriors &#8211; Correct upto completed CPL matches by August 20, 2025.  <\/p>\n<p>Follow Wisden for all cricket updates, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/live-cricket-scores\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/live-cricket-scores\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" class=\"c-link c-link--underline\">live scores<\/a>, match stats, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/quizzes\/daily-quiz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/quizzes\/daily-quiz\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-14407\" class=\"c-link c-link--underline\">quizzes<\/a> and more.
