Usama Mire was the top wicket-taker in the PSL 2024
His all-around performances in the 2023 T20 Blast for the Worcestershire Rapids were impactful. He was up there with the best legspinners in the BBL and equal second only to Adam Zampa. These are reasons that ensure he is an asset to any T20 setup.
