PCB secures Dubai, Sharjah as venues for Pakistan Super League

Akram said personally he would advise Younis to now focus on Test matches as he has got the biggest success in this format.

“But the majority vote in the PCB is in favour of having the PSL in Dubai and Sharjah because of the cricket culture there, the large Pakistani and Asian expatriate community plus the fact that the UAE venues are like second home to the PCB which has been hosting its home series there since 2010”, the source said.

On this occasion PCB Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board Shahryar Khan said global cricket players would join the PSL, which would benefit national players.

He said: “Absolutely buzzing to be a part of the Pakistani mela coming up in February”.

The Pakistan Super League is a franchise-based T20 cricket tournament set to take place in February 2016.

“It seems to be like it’s going to be an exquisite competitors”. Lots of fun, lots of sixes, lots of wickets, typical T20 stuff.

Pietersen, who is almost positive by no means to get a recall to the England national workforce due to his troublesome relations with the administration, is considered one of the most wanted freelancers in the T20 circuit.

Chris Gayle, Angelo Mathews, Lasith Malinga, Dwayne Bravo are also reported to have signed up to play in the competition. There will be a players’ auction for the teams to pick their superstars.

Hodge, 40, enjoyed a productive stint in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) this year with Guyana, finishing as the tournament’s seventh-highest runs-scorer, and will again line up for the Strikers in his dual role of batsman and assistant coach in BBL|05.

“I think I deserve better treatment after serving Pakistan for more than 15 years and I don’t know what the PSL organizers wanted to prove to me”.
