MUMBAI:
Pakistan Super League’s team Peshawar Zalmi has hired Chinese corporate guru, Li Da Peng as its senior director.
This isn’t the first time that the
PSL franchise has established a ‘Chinese connection.’ Zhang Yufei and Li Jian, who play for the Chinese national
cricket team, represented Peshawar Zalmi in this edition of PSL.
Peng is known as one of the best corporate gurus in China. “The Zalmi Family bond has strengthened with this joining and it is a great asset for us to go into season 4,” said Zalmi chairman Javed Afridi.
Afridi, also the CEO of Haier Electronics (Pakistan), had recently stepped up to sponsor the Pakistan hockey team’s travel to Bhubaneswar for the Hockey World Cup later this month.
In a ceremony held in Lahore last Saturday, Haier (Pakistan) signed an MoU with the PHF as title sponsors till 2020.
