Trapped between ILT20, SA20 and IPL, PSL gasps for significance

[ExpressPacer]

Problem with PSL is even Pakistanis don't really care about it anymore. If PSL can just attract the Pakistani market then it would be enough for it to be successful. How many people watch American football outside America? Doesn't have to be some global league like IPL but quality will attract local eyeballs and quality only comes from overseas players.
Need to find a window when overseas players are more available. Maybe September or October time might be better.

PSL has been dead for a couple of years. There has been a lack of interest amongst the general public.

PSL peaked in 2018-2021. I think it is time to add more teams to reignite interest.

Minnowbasher - Do you even live in Pakistan?

Have you guys conducted market research or at least a survey or a poll to come to this conclusion that even Pakistanis don’t really care about the PSL anymore.

Sounds like a sweeping statement and my anecdotal experience is completely different. I would argue that Pakistanis care about it far more now than they did before. Initially, it was only active cricket fans that watched the games. Now, it is also attracting fans that don’t follow the Pakistani team but tune in for a few weeks during the PSL to support their home team and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Your opinions could not be farther from the truth.

More teams will require massive injection of funds by the stakeholders

What a great game between Durban and Pretoria

Pretoria chasing 211 were 150-0 in 12 overs, they choked and lost by 4 runs by the end.

None. If I get time I will watch highlights. Very difficult to watch a league where you have no local sense of fan following, patriotism or ownership in which you will feel in the PSL. I can watch the IPL as it is without a doubt the best league in the world but too many leagues at the same time leads to viewer fatigue and boredom and the best players getting spread up between 4-5 leagues taking place at the same time is a recipe for disaster.
