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

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
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 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
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.

PSL - the panacea for all Pak cricketing ills.

It will be forgotten if the fans are stupid enough to keep allowing it to be forgotten

Why wouldn't it be forgotten?
They are two separate things.
I think Pakistanis wake up in the morning and think of an excuse to try and drag down the PSL.

Its never forgotton by fans in ICC tournaments nothing to do with PSL...... The same mistakes of not being flexible selecting non performing seniors are repeated over and over as Pakistan is weaker than the best teams on paper. Any chance of success is already eroded by the coach and captain.

That's because the hardcore Pakistan cricket fans have decided that PSL is supposed to be a talent pipeline. That's not what PSL's primary goal is. It's supposed to be a local franchise league that appeals to average people/has mainstream appeal and allows the PCB to generate revenue through sponsorships, partnerships, ads. Everything else is secondary to that.

hardcore fans want (young) players to perform in FC (red ball) cricket and come trough a proper system. not on the basis of a couple of 6s!

Franchise cricket is a good system for t20 cricket.

There are so many world cups thanks to BCCICC (6 ICC events every 4 years). There are also so many franchise leagues (including PSL). So, people tend to forget things and move on quickly.
This is called "interest dilution".

I'm personally not interested
In fact since 2023 I have been losing interest in this league
When you national team is trash it generates no interest in watching this league

At least your national team is performing and has been very consistent as compared to torture we have been witnessing
So yeah people also enjoy League

So many ICC events. How many things fans manage to remember?
We now have 6 ICC events every 4 years.
By winning...... If Bangladesh won one or even made the final would you forget? Tests are different if your team made the final you would remember. Imagine if there was only a ODI WC every 4 years with some teams having no chance of winning it.So many ICC events. How many things fans manage to remember?

I watch cricket not for Bangladesh. I watch cricket because I like cricket.
BD winning or losing doesn't impact my interest in cricket. If BD win, that's simply a bonus.
I think there are too many ICC events. 6 events in 4 years is an overkill. I prefer one WC every 4 years like it is in FIFA.

The way things are on the geo political front, I don't see any big name traveling to Pak for PSL.
This is going to be one damp squib so hopefully common sense prevails soon & there is a better geo political climate. Lions vs. Shaheens match was canceled & there's no news if the next one is going to take place or not.

bilaterals don't offer much purpose now in limited overs... They never did unless its a big series.

& I am someone who actually likes PSL. It's a good tournament and it's also aired for free which makes it even better as white noise.

Even IPL may get impacted depending on how Iran war progresses.
Many flights got disrupted.

That doesn't mean we should have a WC every single year. No other sport has this.
Football has just 1 WC every 4 years. Football is a much bigger sport than cricket.
Before 2000, cricket used to have 1 WC every 4-5 years. Things were just fine. I think they should go back to that.

SS, they may just face flight delays and then find a region to host the tournament. We are neighbors with both Iran and Afghanistan and almost always end up getting embroiled in these conflicts way more than we want to be.
Football also has continental tournaments every 2 years Euros Copa Africa Cup.... There's even a Nations league in Europe...... On top of big domestic leagues and Continental tournaments...... A lot more compared to cricket, its a different sport but there's plenty of competitons there.

Euro, Copa etc. are not World Cups. Those are regional tournaments like cricket's Asia Cup.
Nations League is for the clubs. It is not international football.
Football only has one WC and that is the FIFA WC.
Cricket has too many WCs and it dilutes interests.
Nations League is an international league for European Countries.... Because of scheduling there's only one World Cup otherwise there would be another tournament in between.... Football has one format cricket has 3 formats there's a difference there too.
