I feel emerging quote is being misused here. Ideally, it should have been from fresh faces, preferably U20 players and only for one time. Here, what is happening that they are putting lots of youngsters in emerging quota for 12 spots (that too slashed by half because of retention) and filling up the squad with undeserving oldies. Players like Saud, Sameen, Farhan, Jaahid, Khusdil, Talat, Mudassar, Hasan Khan ... should't be considered in emerging category, rather they should be in main draw. What is happening that these young players are already established in domestics, many of them even have represented PAK - but they are competing for 12 spots and real emerging players (basically those who have been just out of U19 in last 2 years) like Zeeshan, Umair Masood, Imam ... are missing out. This year, there was one more franchise which allowed few more players, but still I feel PSL's average age needs to go down. I don't think there is any quota in IPL and their player pool is much larger for 8 franchise, still players like Samson, Chand, Iyer, Sandeep and few others are making/made starting XI and they were given key roles in bating or bowling.
Still, may be emerging quota at least giving some opportunity for youngsters, otherwise may be those 12 spots could also have gone to 30+ brigade.
) in 3rd season he couldn’t find a place in any squad that’s out of 120 players..
