Lahore Qalandars pacer Sohail Khan on Monday said he is targeting team glory rather than individual accolades in the 2018 Pakistan Super League (PSL) season, which starts on February 22.

With 16 scalps to his name, Sohail, 33, was the leading wicket-taker of last year's PSL but his team, Karachi Kings, had failed to make the final for the second year running.

The veteran fast bowler, who was traded to the Qalandars during the off-season, says he has not set individual targets for himself for the upcoming PSL season but simply wants to help his side go all the way.

In an interview with DawnNews, Sohail said: "I was the best bowler last year, but I couldn't help my team win. These accolades matter only when they also help the team win. I will still try and be the best bowler but what I did last year was for my own self. This year I want to make my team the best team."

Khan also appreciated the team management, claiming that there was no pressure on the players.

"The [positive] environment will definitely lead us to good results," he said.

The Qalandars' Shaheen Shah, a 17-year-old bowler who plays for the Pakistan Under-19 cricket team, expressed similar sentiments and said that the camaraderie between the players made "it fun to share the dressing room".

The Lahore Qalandars have lost 11 of the 16 matches they have played across the last two editions of the PSL. On both occasions, they finished bottom of the table.

This year, however, they head into the tournament with a blend of experience and youth. What makes the Qalandars stand out from the rest is their domestic talent-hunt programme which has unearthed potential future stars for Pakistan cricket.

The Qalandars have named Fakhar Zaman as vice-captain in their bid to groom the 27-year-old for a leadership role under the guidance of former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum.

The PSL kicks off on Feb 22 with last year's winners Peshawar Zalmi taking on the Multan Sultans in Dubai.
