Wasim Akram wants fans to fill up stadia to make PSL successful

DUBAI: Pakistan’s legendary pacer Wasim Akram wants fans to fill up the stadium for the Pakistan Super League 2019.

Wasim, the greatest left-arm paceman ever, is with Karachi Kings as President. He had guided Islamabad United to the title in the first edition in 2016. Last year he was associated with Multan Sultans.

“This league is ours, yours and of every Pakistani’s,” Wasim said. “Pakistan has made this league for Pakistani fans. All six teams have Pakistani owners.

“This is our brand and we have to make it successful,” said the legend. “It takes enormous efforts to organise such a mega event, but at the end of the day fans have to make this league popular.“I am sure people will come in large numbers in matches in Pakistan. Hopefully a day will come soon when our league will be completely held in Pakistan.”
