Williamson is taking part in the SA20 for Durban Giants and gave a very good account of himself against the Pretoria Capitals with a 40-ball 60. Williamson is regarded as one of the best in the long format while his addition will definitely add more depth to Karachi Kings.

Warner also will be plying his trade for the time in the PSL after he found no takers in the IPL auction. A maximum of eight retentions were permitted for each PSL side. While three teams have utilised the full quota, the remaining three sides retained seven players each.
