Conveniently chosen date.

The H2H is 11-4.

Also in that period India has won a WC and a CT.

At least we have a home to play in where fans can come and cheer compared to not even being able to hold the PAKISTAN super league final in PAKISTAN.
 
Lol at people saying Ashwin,Dhawan won't get a PSL contract...BCCI can send likes of Uthappa,Karthik,Harbhajan Singh,Pathan bros and Binny and I can bet a $100, PSL franchises will be drooling over them leave alone players in the current scheme of things like Bumrah,Pandya etc. or bigger names.

Yes you are fortunate. Pakistan is in shambles as a nation, but we still are relatively strong cricket-wise.

Lol. Why would the PSL franchises drool over Binny? He's not very useful as a cricketer and not very marketable either.

Fine maybe not bunny but tell me this karthik/uthappa or Rizwan?

A nearly done and dusted Harbhajan Singh would walk into pak T20 side easily.. bhajji or nawaz?

Yusuf and Irfan are not good enough to get into PSL really?

He is better than Yasir and has the potential to be an ATG bowler/all-rounder. That is enough to go with now, I think.

He is an inferior test bowler to Shah and an inferior LOI bowler to Tahir, out of the current crop. He will never become an ATG spinner or all-rounder even if the whole of India wishes him to at a meteor shower. Just not good enough away from home and even on his home pitches, he is no better than Kumble or Harbhajjan and neither of them is an ATG spinner.

He is better than the likes of Elliot, Gayle (he is finished), Malan, Delport, Sangakkara (in T20s) etc., He comfortably makes every single XI, he is one one of the best T20 players around. Raina will play every single match for every single franchise.

Again, Ashwin has no fan-following in Pakistan but he is a big draw. Having players like him makes the PSL a more prestigious competition and given how many Indians are there in the UAE, having Indian players will help the PSL attract bigger crowds. The IPL had massive crowds in the UAE, something the PSL can only dream of.

Obviously not all of them would turn up for the Indian players in the PSL, but they will easily attract more supporters than players from countries like England, Australia, SA etc.
Click to expand...

Yes, you might be right about Raina. I don't see him getting paid big money for his services but he's still a good and exciting T20 player who will be picked up.

Ashwin is not a draw. Like I said, he is uncharasmatic, has a boring style of play and isn't very good at what he does in LOIs. Even in his home country, he isn't a superstar for his LOI exploits. No PSL team will pick him unless his asking price is terribly low.
 
Indian players definitely picked by the PSL:

1) Kohli
2) Rohit
3) Raina
4) Dhoni
5) Yuvraj

Pakistani players definitely picked by the IPL:

1) Afridi
2) Amir
3) Riaz
4) Malik
5) Tahir

Good enough. End thread. :salute:

He is better than Yasir, but to be a genuine ATG, he will have to improve his overseas record, otherwise he will end up like Kumble who was an ATG in India but didn't have much of an impact elsewhere. The next overseas cycle of India will determine if he will finish as an ATG or just an ATG at home.

He is better than Yasir. Tahir though is certainly the best LOI spinner in the world. Like I said before, Ashwin will have to improve his overseas record to establish himself as an ATG

He is much better than Harbhajan the chucker, but if he doesn't end up making an impact overseas, he will end up in the Kumble territory, which is great but not ATG level. He has improved a lot as a bowler in the last couple of years so there is a good chance that he will do well overseas. He is mostly economical so he won't get smashed like Yasir in Australia and will be tight like he was in 2014, and if he gets the two pitches that Ashwin got at Lord's and The Oval, he will do well.

He has superior skills to Yasir and doesn't lose the plot when the batsmen attack him. He outperformed Yasir in Sri Lanka and has outperformed him in Australia. The next tour of India to England will kill the myth that Yasir is better than him.

Yes, you might be right about Raina. I don't see him getting paid big money for his services but he's still a good and exciting T20 player who will be picked up.

Ashwin is not a draw. Like I said, he is uncharasmatic, has a boring style of play and isn't very good at what he does in LOIs. Even in his home country, he isn't a superstar for his LOI exploits. No PSL team will pick him unless his asking price is terribly low.

Ashwin has the reputation of being the best spinner in the world today and is regarded as one of India's biggest match-winners. Yes his best format is Tests, but players are picked primarily on their reputation. He hasn't been in great form in LOIs recently, but he is not mediocre by any means.

He has done well for India in the CT and WC in the past, but 2016 has not been a good year for him in LOIs. If you want to look at a mediocre LOI spinner, look no further than your avatar.

Besides, Ashwin has been a stellar player for CSK in the IPL for years, and that is where he first made his reputation before he excelled for India. He would have played for India eventually anyway, but he got fast-tracked because of his great performances in the IPL.

He is a big player and he will be a top pick in the PSL. Tahir of course will be one of the top picks as well, he is the best LOI spinner in the world and of course is Pakistani.

India is a much better team than Pakistan in Limited Overs and the IPL is a much better league than the PSL. Yet, the number of Indians getting picked in the PSL will be the same as the number of Pakistanis getting picked in the IPL.

Amazing logic. :salute:

He is actually not very far off. People don't understand these leagues.Those kind of players are good enough to play these leagues and perform better than big names considering the format of the game and cost benefit factor. A few of the players he listed will definitely make it though not all.

Glad you get it....well may be Binny is debatable but forget PSL Karthik,Uthappa,Pathan bros or even Harbhajan would be playing for Pakistan if they were Pakistanis in LOi'S leave alone PSL.

Dhoni gets criticized by Indian fans but he would be as big a name as Imran Khan had he accomplished all that he has for Pakistan.

Easy to brush this off as a troll post but if people think logically,I kid you not I am not exaggerating.

More like hundreds of poor imitations of Jadeja. He is better than anyone in Pakistan in his role.

He is as good as a specialist Test spinner. The closest to him in Pakistan is Imad, but Jadeja is the better player.

Not sure why Raina is mentioned here. He isn't even in Indian team.

Stop embarrassing yourself with every post.

Raina still plays T20I for India and has been fantastic over the years. In their last T20I vs England earlier this month, he scored 63 in 45 balls.

But yes, he won't get picked in the PSL. :91:
 
Mamoon said:
Ashwin is more popular than Badree and Narine because he plays for India and is one of their best players. He will be one of the first names to get picked in a PSL draft. He is definitely an iconic cricketer now and has the reputation of a match-winner. Not every player has to be a crowd-puller, but Ashwin will certainly attract the Indian cricket fans in the UAE to the PSL.

Raina will get picked as well, he is a tremendous T20 player.

Rahane and Saha probably won't get picked, neither will Pujara, but the likes of Shami, Rohit and Dhawan will get picked. Basically the players who have been playing LOIs regularly for India and are renowned.
Click to expand...

Ashwin is not an iconic Cricketer. Even, Indian fans will not go that far. The only iconic cricketer in Indian team right now is Virat Kohli who I know will be the most expensive pick in the PSL if he is ever allowed to play in the league.

Also, you are mixing up his match-winning capability in tests (and that too in Asia) with ODIs and T20s which absolutely does not make any sense.

PSL has just 5 teams. I am sure PSL owners are dying to sign up the likes of Pandya, Uthapa, Karthik, etc. The delusion is mind-boggling here.

Ask [MENTION=134809]sensible-indian-fan[/MENTION]
Jadeja is mediocre in T20Is as a bowler and he won't even get to bat most games.

Even Hasan Khan has an economy of 6 and Nawaz has won games. Quetta has Zulfi too. KK has Imad. PZ have Shakib and Asghar. LQ have Zafar and IU have Khalid+Zohaib. Nobody needs Jadeja.

Yes....but Jadeja still goes for a lot of money in IPL cos he is an AR in T20.

He may or may not make the playing XI in PSL (due to foreigner rule) but he may very well be bought by some franchise.

Don't forget on turners, this guy will be useful.

All players I mentioned are fringe players...firstly don't think it is worth Dhoni,Kohli,Rohit,Ashwin etc's time to play in the PSL....they will probably make more money in the spare time promoting products etc than what a PSL contract would bring in for them..so we can rule out the affordability factor...I am not trying to sound arrogant but this is a fact.

Next point is I believe BCCI did send Tiwary,Yusuf Pathan to play in a Bangladesh 50 over tournament in the past and let Pujara etc. play counties during their down time.

All the names I mentioned are not random...they are very good utility T20I players who may not get a spot in the national side but they are good.

Yusuf Pathan gets top billing in IPL and on tracks of Dubai,don't you think he will get bought by PSL franchises even though he doesn't play for the national team?

Similarly Bhajji has a reputation and is a brand name..he still plays IPL and does decently...I mean when Jayawardena can get a contract why can't Bhajji?

Karthik and Uthappa too see Pathan..they are very valuable T20 cricketers,especially the fact that they can keep as well.

If you say Irfan and Binny won't make it then sure may be,but there are worse overseas. cricketers especially than Irfan who are playing in the PSL.

So what part of my post do you find delusional.

I did not throw random names just for the heck of it....just made an observation pretty much.

I didn't say BCCI will send Faiz Fazal,Vinay Kumar etc...did I? I picked some pretty good T20 players who fill right in PSL.
 
As per some PP'ers if you are not Pakistani then you are automatically better even if there is empirical evidence to suggest otherwise.

As a T20 player because this thread was about PSL,wasn't it?

I don't think you need specialist keepers for T20.You know the answer who are better T20 franchise players.

I don't think you have said it though...I am just making a point to those who said some big names from India would struggle to get a PSL contract.

No man you are right even uncapped domestic Indian youngsters are better than every Pakistani cricketer. Infact we should change the name to India Super League and have 7 Indians in the side and a max of 4 Pakistani cricketers.

It is just an adjective. If you don't like the word 'iconic', call him big/important/massive etc. etc. anything you like, but the fact that Ashwin is a big Indian star at the moment and is considered to be their most important player after Kohli.

There is absolutely no chance of him not going for big money in the PSL auction. Every single franchise will bend backwards to have someone of his reputation in their team.

As far as his LOI bowling is concerned, you are dismissing him as if he is Yasir, who has been garbage in Limited Overs. Ashwin has been an excellent performer in LOIs apart from the last year or so, and has done well for India in tournaments as well. Was very good in the 2015 World Cup and the Champions Trophy as well, and he has big reputation as a quality bowler for CSK in the IPL, which is what made him renowned in the first place and accelerated his inclusion in the Indian team.

You can keep living in your dream world where Ashwin will go unsold along with Dhoni, and Kohli will be the only Indian player to get picked in the PSL.
 
Indians in the PSL

The PSL is not televised in South Africa. Are there any Indians participating in the tournament
 
It would be absolutely amazing if Indian's participate. However, BCCI as a policy does not allow Indian players to play any other league. I've always wondered why. Maybe they fear it may undermine their own league.
 
^ As a cricket fan I would love for Indian players to play in BBL,CPL even PSL or BPL...but I can understand why BCCI does it....IPL is the biggest cricketing league in the world,Ever heard of the term "franchise player".

Dhoni when CSK was still alive and kicking or Kohli with RCB are franchise players and despite regional support,fans of these players also support these franchises.

Similarly you don't expect Messi,Ronaldo or Dwayne Wade will not play for multiple franchises. that is the way it should work but in cricket the pool of quality players is very less and money in leagues apart from the IPL is very limited,so you get the globe-trotters.

If other leagues get as big as IPL then you will see more such Franchise players which most Indian cricketers are.

Don't think even AB Devillers,Steve Smith etc. play multiple leagues either.
 
Whats the point of starting such meaningless threads. No Indian cricketer will be allowed to play is PSL and likewise BCCI will never invite a Pakistan player to play in IPL. PCB burnt that bridge a while back and the political differences between the two countries will ensure that this wont happen, at-least not in this decade
