Team overview
Hyderabad Kingsmen at a glance
Hyderabad Kingsmen are a men's Twenty20 franchise representing Hyderabad and Sindh in the Pakistan Super League. Fawad Sarwar owns the team, which joined HBL PSL in the 2026 expansion from six to eight franchises alongside Rawalpindiz.
The Kingsmen lost their first four matches, then won four in succession. A heavy defeat to Islamabad left qualification dependent on the final league game, where a 244/6 total and 108-run victory over Rawalpindiz lifted Hyderabad above Lahore Qalandars on net run rate. They finished fourth at 5-5 with ten points and NRR -0.361.
Hyderabad beat Multan Sultans by eight wickets in Eliminator 1 and Islamabad United by two runs in Eliminator 2. Peshawar Zalmi won the final by five wickets, leaving the expansion side as runners-up with an overall debut-season record of seven wins and six defeats.

PSL 11 roster timeline
Hyderabad Kingsmen PSL 11 squad and season participants
The official launch announcement named 21 players, including Ottneil Baartman. The club's current PSL 11 directory lists 20 and no longer lists Baartman, while completed tournament statistics document Maheesh Theekshana in three matches. All 22 names are retained here with that timeline explained instead of presenting an inaccurate single-date roster.

Home venue
National Bank Stadium
Karachi, PakistanHyderabad Kingsmen represent Hyderabad, but the franchise did not receive a Hyderabad home fixture in its first season. After HBL PSL 11 was operationally reduced to Lahore and Karachi, seven of Hyderabad's ten league matches were played at National Bank Stadium; the other three league games and all three playoff matches were at Gaddafi Stadium. National Bank Stadium is therefore shown as the primary 2026 match base, not a permanent home-ground claim.
