England One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 Captain Eoin Morgan is all set for the Pakistan Super League as part of the Peshawar Zalmi squad.

The second edition of the PSL will be held in Dubai starting Feb 9. The opening match is between defending champions Islamabad United and the Peshawar Zalmi.

Morgan joined the Zalmi squad after he completed England's tour of India.

"I'm delighted to be part of the Peshawar Zalmi team for the PSL and am really looking forward to the start of the event," he said.

Morgan said he had heard good things about the first season of the PSL from many players and was glad he would have the chance to play in the mega event himself.

"Last year, many of my friends told me about how good the PSL was, and they really rate the PSL very highly. It's good to be in Dubai for the second season and I'm very excited.

The England skipper said he would do his best to perform and entertain PSL fans.

"I know how passionate PSL and Peshawar Zalmi fans are. They follow every ball, every wicket, every boundary. I will try my level best to give a good performance in the PSL and come up with some good innings for Peshawar Zalmi," he vowed.

Eoin Morgan has scored 1,568 runs in 67 T20Is for England, as well as 5,193 in 173 ODIs.
