Watson still undecided about playing in Pakistan

DUBAI: Contrary to earlier reports which suggested that Shane Watson has agreed to travel to Pakistan for HBL Pakistan Super League matches, the Australian all-rounder has announced that he was yet to make up his mind about it.

Watson who played a key role in Quetta Gladiators’ big win against Karachi Kings on Thursday night, said that it is his family which will decide whether he will accompany Quetta to Pakistan if the team qualified for the playoffs.

“We still have a few more games to go, so there is some more cricket to be played before we get to Pakistan,” Watson told Sky Sports. “At this point in time, I am still undecided. Obviously, the decision point will come in a couple of weeks and that decision isn’t so much my own as it is my family’s — who are the most important part of my life.”

Watson, who hit an explosive 90 against Karachi is the leading run-getter this season, and Gladiators are second in a tight five-way race for a spot in the final four.Two playoff matches are scheduled in Lahore on March 20 and 21, with the PSL final in Karachi on the 25.
