Batting and Bowling talent can be variable and specific to the individual but it is inexcusable for the local Pakistani players to be so unfit, lethargic and terrible in the field. This tournament has been a real downer because of the number of dropped catches in the outfield by the local players and the number of local players who clearly lack international standard fitness. The pathetic fitness and fielding levels by the local players only serves to reduce the quality of your premier league.
I don't think the Franchises have any interest in spending money or ensuring that the local players they select are fit. This is where the PCB needs to step in and play their role to protect the PSL. Hold a month long fitness and fielding camp for the local Pakistani players who have been picked in the draft by the PSL franchises and ensure these local players come the start of the PSL are fit and ready. Any local player who has been selected by the PSL franchise who does not meet the bare minimum criteria should find his NOC withdrawn from the PCB to play in the PSL.
I believe this step will ensure that there is a certain standard in the PSL when it comes to Fielding, Fitness especially if the PSL Franchises and owners are not willing to ensure these standards are met.
