[Major]

QG owner #NadeemOmar has said Quetta Gladiators are ready to play exhibition matches in Pakistan to send strong message to the world that Pakistan is safe.
He added QG will try to bring available foreigners and hope @therealpcb and other franchises will be thinking on same lines.
Nadeem Omar has also stressed that the we are right behind PCB and Ramiz Raja, stating that ‘We will rise again together’
We all need to act like Gladiators, Qalandars, Zalmis, Sultans, Kings and stay United in these tough times

Chris Gayle on twitter has also indicated that he might be coming to Pakistan.

This deserves alot of praise if PSL owners like Nadeem Omar are stepping up. He doesn't even need to do this and isnt required to do this. Yet if he still pulls this off, this deserves alot of credit for his patriotic efforts that he is doing here.

Because the damage was big and this is one way to mitigate it. Hopefully more team owners join in.

Great initiative.

If we could get a match going on where there are foreigners aswell, it ends up proving our point.

Than the speculation of what if will end.

There are chances that England might pull out, so better to pull out an exhibition match between franchises...

PSL franchises should assemble their squads if possible and play a few exhibition games amongst each other.

Maybe claim it as an exhibition tournament, like an appetizer for PSL7.

Good stuff, look forward to hearing good news from this.

National team Xi vs psl Xi.
National team only gets the selected 15.
Psl Xi gets to choose any non selected players including fakhar sharjeel Dhani amir wahab etc. And any few foreign players willing to come just 3 to 4 are enough.
Would be a spicy series and also good practice.

I think these are pointless. What we need is to bring all the stakeholders together and look at the idea I have seen floated on here about having hotels near the ground or like at the Rose Bowl as part of the ground. We have to think outside the box for solutions to a problem that isn't going to disappear.

No one is going to give land for a hotel next to the stadium..

They are called compulsion purchase orders and they are used all around the World.

1. You can do this in Uk, dont know about Pakistan.

2. There is no land near our stadiums. Rawalpindi stadium is inside an area where there cant be any more consturction.

lahore stadium has other grounds around and cant build hotels there.

It won't be easy but it is in the national interest and With political will you can do anything and we have to sooner or later. You can change the laws, use the orders and build medium sized hotels near stadiums.

Sure but in the case of NZC they would not even come down the stairs / elevator of the hotel to the lobby. I don't think this will quite convince people in the way you intend for it to do so.

At the end of the day if they feel uneasy they will abandon the tour, simple as that. You can have them housed in one of the stands for all it matters in my opinion.

Given the upcoming CWC is a T20 there is no harm in PAK playing its practice matches as a warm up to the tournament utilising PSL's resources. The more the involvement of foreign players, the better the message. Let's see what happens.

But we need to do our best and in the bigger scheme of things the cost of buying property and clearing them for hotels is small.
