We discovered a decent amount of players with potential i.e. Mohammad Hasnain, Harris Rauf, Muhammad Musa, the MS left handed opening batsman and keeper, Umer Khan, Ahsan Ali
Umar Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad were made to work hard and get back into Pakistan Cricket Reckoning.
The 8 PSL games in Karachi were the epicentre and they have perhaps given the greatest amount of confidence to the nation that Cricket can be held in Pakistan. The foreign players with security went out to malls, restaurants, functions, Wasim Akram's house for dinner and Jonty Rhodes drove a Harley Davision.
As far as things to improve are concerned, better technology is needed for the PSL opening and closing ceremonies, better selection of singers. I personally think Imran Khan should have attended the final, sure maybe he shouldn't have watched the whole game but as PM of the country he could have combined the whole trip with some official work in Karachi and maybe turned up for the PSL post match ceremony and given a speech
I also think the PCB for future seasons needs to implement the rule of not more than 3 foreign players in the playing eleven and that 2 emerging players must be in the playing eleven, one batsman and one bowler and the batsman must open the innings or bat in the top 4.
Franchises like LQ and KK also need to be given some kick up the back side to change things as these are the two top most expensive franchises and their below par performances are unacceptable.
Next year the entire PSL must be played in Pakistan but for this we need stadiums in Lahore, Multan, Quetta, Islamabad, Hyderabad, Karachi Defence, Rafi Stadium, Peshawar, AJK, Northern Areas e.t.c. ready. It can only happen if the government is on board and gives the PCB the financing and resources necessary to get these stadiums up and ready by next season.
