It’s a stupid argument. Indian team bowling standards have been better than Pak for a decade now. Ultimately these bowlers have been more consistent and effective than Pakistani bowlers. We saw that in multiple tournaments and bilaterals. If the quality of bowlers in Pak was so much better they wouldn’t struggle everywhere
You think that any league cricket is serious cricket? PCB might be an aberration because you guys don’t have a proper first class cricket tournament nor structure and are well known to pack PSL players into red ball or ODIs, but no good team will select players into their national team based solely on these leagues. The primary purpose of these leagues is indeed entertainment.
At times I feel Indians commenting on stuff they have absolutely no idea about is something that’s ingrained in their society and a finicky habit passed on from one generation to the next.
Pindi stadium is also in the hub of city , marred by traffic , signals and bikes and rickshaws also. Add to it during games the route is changed due to security and other reasons too much hassle
PCB didn't have too many options than this in terms of getting the window to organize the league in manageable weather. They surely can't play in June, July with excessive heat.
No, that's not man of the match award. That is actually a routine by the team with their sponsor where they presents a gift to a player who performed well in the match during their post match meeting/celebration.
When you pay millions you would hope so. I don't take any franchise league seriously but I hear a billion Inds do.
scheduling PSL alongside IPL means Pakistan is losing the Majority of revenues that came from sponsors and broadcaster .
Revenues from gate money is negligible compared to sponsors and broadcasters.
It would suit PCB to host PSL in England. Pak has best lot of fast bowling talent which would be amazing to watch in English conditions. Also, Pak always get a lot of crowd support over there from expats etc. You will also get a lot of gate money from Indian fans who will come and enjoy watching PSL matches. It's a win win.
Yes, host the Pakistan Super League in England. Makes perfect sense.
The whole tournament is lifeless and cheap... poor teams, poor standard of cricket, poor performances, poor infrastructure and zero talent development...
Pathetic as usual. The only thing which doesn't make sense is why are persisted with being given hosting rights.
Doesn't all The Franchises contract end after this year PSL ?
Anything will be better than lifeless nalli biryani Karachi stadium.
I agree.
Don’t think lack of star power is the issue. I can guarantee you that there is not a single person in Pak who is saying “I’d go if Klassen” was playing.
Have there been no matches in Lahore and Multan yet? I haven’t followed PSL much.
PSL has not other sporting competitions in the country. Its literally THE only sports competition with any real sense of purpose in Pakistan.
The PSL owners don’t really advertise year round and buildup a supporter base. They go quiet for 10 months of the year. Then complain that they don’t make money. The IPL teams have year round programs and social media teams hyping up their players and scouting of other competitions for players. I don’t see that with the PSL ownership.
, anyways Pindi has lit up the tempo of PSL X
