Karachi Kings have brought in South Africa batter Reeza Hendricks into their PSL 2026 squad as a late replacement. Hendricks takes the place of West Indies opener Johnson Charles, who won't play this season because of personal issues. This will be Hendricks' second stint in the PSL. In 2024, he played for the Multan Sultans. In eight innings, he scored 304 runs 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. The Kings aim to improve on their third-place finish in the PSL in 2026, their first appearance in the playoffs since 2021. Their campaign starts against Quetta Gladiators, the losing finalists from last season, on March 27.
