The current season marks a significant milestone for the franchise as PSL celebrates its tenth edition. Earlier this season, Peshawar Zalmi unveiled their “Zalmi X Legacy” campaign, celebrating their decade-long journey in the league. The team released a short film/anthem presented by Ufone 4G, which according to their social media, is “a celebration of our 10-year journey, our unparalleled legacy, and the enduring spirit of the Yellow Storm.”

Their post explained that the #ZalmiXLegacy jersey is “more than sportswear — it’s a story of resilience, empowerment, and pride stitched into every thread.”
