Agree with this. It can't be much worse than some of the foreign players selected.
The same guys who play PSL
Look at the guys that got selected. Bar a few most were hardly box office. The IPL will take the cream but that doesn't mean that the likes of Joe Root, Ben Ducket, Zak Crawley can't use this as a staging post.
first of all we will lose pollard
International TV rights sales could be affected?
There is whole lot of things that will completely drown PSL.Really? How? We have multiple tests series at the same time and they all get shown. The PSL overseas rights are probably small and won't impact the revenue in any big way
I can live with thatFor one thing you are not getting Ian Bishop, Michael Clarke
That's the biggest plusfirst of all we will lose pollard
Im not sure how either haha it was a poorly worded question.
I don't have any statistical evidence but I would be surprised if its anything significant. The PSL is for us PKS at home and abroad. And despite what our Inds friends have us believe, The IPL is for Inds at home and abroad. In the UK and in other cricketing places outside SC it also has a tiny presence.
The IPL is like the EPL at the moment but others leagues like Dutch, German etc don't stop playing. We PKs will always watch the PSL and the international market is very small. So what do we lose. I agree with your point about the stadia etc
I agree on doing it ,but after 2-3 years, I think PSL1 and 5 or 6 were actually really good with broadcast where the graphics and everything were so original.
The PCB is a shambles and will never improve. Look at our last 3 chairman and you see rewards for political services.
That isn't really a problem. Players will follow the money, the PSL signs the next best player available.
Some fans will probably through a hissy for but if you accept the fact that IPL is the number one league, they will just have to accept it.
Absolutely right. There is an existing window. The fans of both leagues do not overlap. Perhaps a very minute %. Player availability is there. I think it will be a big positive for PSL.
There are other commentators available. Perhaps it is opportunity to unearth a few new voices. Instead of the same ones.For one thing you are not getting Ian Bishop, Michael Clarke
Non cricket playing countries do have good potential for revenues. Especially US and Canada.
For 2024 they will be;
Depends on the individual I guess.
Two options/schools of thought exist. One is to move to during the IPL and other move as far away from IPL as possible.
I disagree. Look at football and how powerful the EPL has become but it doesn't stop all the other leagues being played simultaneously. The PSLs audience is PK and its based around PK players. I am not sure how many coaches are in both and the commentators thing is the most overrated thing in the World.
I think the point is that the PSL won't be in competition with the IPL. in fact it's the contrary... accept that it's a lesser league and learn to live alongside it.
The PSL can't compete with IPL but we can use the same window to hire the next best players and those combined with our own stars and a population of 250mn should be enough to have more than a good league.
Yea, this is what i said in my post above. PSL should try to go head to head with IPL and then after 2-3 seasons we can see how it goes.
That is true but the PSL is based around PK players, the Foreign players don't add or detract from the brand. The brand is loved by PKs

Yeah, no.
I have to disagree with you here, man. The current franchises are not spending enough money and by having more teams the pie gets stretched and their pockets shrink further. Also we dont want to create viewer fatigue by having an elongated tournament. The audience in karachi already refuses to go to the stadium.
The PSL Foreign guys added little to the PSL this year but we had a very entertaining tourny. The PSLs audience is us and we want PK players to be the stars. That is the USP
I disagree, ILT20 has no audience that wants to watch it. Its a fake tournament propped up for betting companies. Lets see how long it survives.
And what percentage is that. I bet that accounts for less than 1% of the fans. The PSL is for PKs, it makes no difference if a few if your friends watch or not. All the leagues- big and small play football at the weekend,they don't stop playing because the EPL is on because they have their own fan bases.
so what your trying to suggest is to have PSL head to head IPL where no international broadcasters will be interested in broadcasting it over IPL and if sponsors are not going to get exposure why would they want to sponsor PSL? how will you run this tournament without revenue?
its not about my friends its about the broadcast window in whole, if PSL is being showing on the main event channel on sky sports there more people to likely to watch it which gives the league its self exposure now we are talking about commercial business like pubs, and other venues that broadcast sports and how many such venues are there arounds just UK it self
Why wouldn't they if they have an audience. And what do Sky pay the PCB, I bet you its nothing and I am sure they would still show it as they don't pay much anyway. The PSL like the IPL has no international following and the only ones that watch are the locals and ex pats. Sure we all know the few non desis that watch but they are such a small proportion-statistically they are insignificant. If you are going to talk about the likes of Sky bring figures as to what they pay.
The only Sport watched in pubs by the punters is football.
Why not use this space to pack in 5-6 Tests against BD , SL , AFG etc ? As such PSL looked like a damp squib with not much crowds .
One of the PSLs 26 percent of viewers were Indians. I'm on TikTok where there's a few Indian accounts who watch and then comment on games.
They already do. I think you need to read op to see why it's a good suggestion.
As I said before the IPL window remains the best option because the Ind market for us is pretty non existent for TV rights and the overall international market is also small as it is for the IPL despite what Ind posters and others claim.
Good suggestion but what about guys that play both PSL and IPL, where would they head?
How many of those? And let them take the IPL money but we also gain from players not picked by the IPL such as Ducket, Root etc.
They can said if any international players or coaching members want to participate in psl will not get any chance to work with Indian cricket . This is enough for foreign players or Coaching staff to not involved in PSL. Recently BCCI told same thing regarding participation in Kashmir Premier League.What will they do? Ban PK players
Despite their billions, they worry that the PSL won't compare unfavourably with the IPL. And they are right
That might happen but the Foreign players aren't the basis for the success of the PSL, they add a bit of flavour but not much else.
Every league sussces depend on Forgein players including IPL. What the point of PSL if they are no overseas players as its will be another national T20 tournament for Pakistan which is already happening.
I agree to some extent but this years PSL had as about Foreign star power as my local league and it was one of the most entertaining so far.
Yep but just to an extent, the real thrill is the no. of nail bitters in a tournament.
