Is Woakesy playing for the Bears from the first game? I've seen some comments suggesting he's playing franchise cricket in the Pakistan Super League for the first month??

He's played for us pre season so id assume so fitness permitting.

Right. I googled this last night and it does seem that he's playing PSL which will go until April end. Seems very inconsistent with playing a full load of pre-season here though and the tournament starts tomorrow with his team's first game on Saturday. He's leaving it late to arrive...

He’s certainly signed up. Money talks.

I can't find anything about him in any of the PSL squads. Not even sure he entered the auction.

Maybe has been signed as a replacement player.

There's plenty on Facebook about him having signed for Peshawar Zalmi for 2026; but I agree that he doesn't appear to be in their squad.

I'm hoping he plays mainly for the Bears. We need him for bowling and batting.

Having re-Googled seems all the sources are quite unreliable. Also seems the tournament itself is on quite shaky ground with actions in the gulf, limited venues, no spectators etc. I'd be quite confident of him playing CC now.
