All will be forgotten once the PSL begins

Nothing will be forgotten. Players work hard to win matches in PSL. There will be lots of opportunities for youngsters to show their ability.

Before PSL we were number 1 in Tests (just for a short while and were unbeatable in the U.A.E) Since the PSL circus started now we are at the bottom.
I read in Shaharyar Khan's book that he opposed the PSL because the damage it will do to our cricket. According to him it was Najam Seth who was strongly in favour of staging this circus. Once the PSL got the green signal Shaharyar Khan said goodbye to PCB.

That's what happens when you appoint a person like Sethi who has no knowledge of the history or traditions of the game.

I know that like all T20 leagues PSL had to exists but the hype for it and the tall claims that it will strengthen Pakistani cricket is ridiculous.

There's no harm to arrange T20 League. As long as it's for fun and not the criteria for team selection. For selecting players you have domestic cricket.


India is a good example. Their players who perform in IPL are those who have also performed in Domestic First Class. They give First Class Cricket the priority

This makes no sense what so ever.

It doesn't if you are in denial. You first have to understand that a "first choice" team doesn't have to be the team that plays the most games collectively.Some Indian players played more games than most Pakistani regular players together. SO your argument pointing out the total number of games played is absurd. Look at the Pakistani team from the T20 WC in 2016 and compare it to the team now. DO the same with the Indian team. India retained most of the players and Pak has new faces. And those new faces are part of the regular team.

I'm just getting a bit tired of these flash in the pan players who can hit the occasional six, score a quick 20 runs and now and then take a couple of wickets - rather give me a batsman who can put a price on his wicket and bat 100 overs and win or draw a Test match for his country.

There we go.

PSL 9 is coming up.

Tests/ODIs will now be history.

I don't think I'm watching this year. I've watched every one since it's start..but this year I can't be bothered. Rather watch the superbowl or my beloved Leicester City.. just can't take the insanity any more. The sheer desire to just stay the same. I work in change and I just can't hack this anymore..I'm done..seriously

Priorities.

As a Board, as a player, what are your priorities?

For the PCB and most Pakistani players, the PSL is the priority, they couldn't care less about Test cricket.

I know this isn't what you'd be hoping for but as a fan, I'm with the PCB and the players. I couldn't care less about Test cricket. The PSL will be fun and importantly played in front of large crowds with an atmosphere like other top sports and not empty stadiums like the tedium that is Test cricket.
