It is worth noting that Quetta has appointed Shane Watson as the new head coach, promoting Moin Khan to the role of Team Director from his previous position as head coach. Khan, a longstanding figure in the team’s coaching setup since the PSL’s inception, transitioned to this new role after an eight-year stint as head coach.

During Khan’s tenure as head coach, the team secured the championship in 2019 and finished as runners-up on two occasions. This period marked a consistent phase of achievement and development for the Gladiators.
