this guy is amazing...he has the skills how to promote his team ...loving his jazba.

 

[Naim]

well i will not mind him as a chairman of Pakistan cricket board

 

[Syed1]

This guy should be involved with the PCB. We need to get rid of political stooges like Sethis and Shahryars.

 

[MenInG]

Maybe I missed it but I dont think Anurag has agreed to anything and is unlikely to. Good try by J Afridi though - sometimes this level of contact can yield better results

 

[Major]

IPL teams vs PSL teams, that would be soo fun to watch to be honest

Don't be immature. Remember one thing, the guy is a business man.

The Cricket Board is state owned.

Doesn't matter if Anurag/BCCI Co agrees or not, its the buzz that will create in International market utimately good for PSL marketing wise .

 

[AlphaFighter]

This is the beauty when you get the private sector involved.

 

[Saj]

Hghly unlikely as the Indian Government will intervene and say no way.

 

[Rishikesh]

BCCI will definitely give positive reply after hearing this

That's exactly the problem- a cricket organization should be run like a business (where the best product = highest profits), not like a state entity being used for political reasons

Previous edition was not telecasted in India, No channel is broadcasting pak vs nz matches, It's the worst time to market anything from Pakistan in India.

First priority should be india vs pak then these micky mouse matches can take place.

 

[Hasan123]

Good idea but not gonna happen

India vs Pak test series in England. Wow that would be beautiful to watch.

not possible. A state own organisation cannot be run like that. For a business, the main motive is profit, thus if first class cricket offers no profit it could result in its shut down.

It will be one-sided for the IPL teams.

One-sided loss yes

 

[nighthawk23]

One-sided loss yes

Even if you consider the domestic players from both sides to be roughly equivalent, the quality is just not there in terms of foreign players for PSL sides. Not to mention the fact that there is no money to be made for IPL sides to play versus PSL foes.
