PCB hailed for holding PSL in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Batting legend Javed Miandad Thursday lauded Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for its decision to hold entire edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 in the country, saying that the event would be beneficial in preparation for the upcoming ICC Twenty20 World Cup.

“The staging of the entire PSL in the country is dream coming true for the whole cricket fraternity to witness the games at home. It is a major achievement of the PCB. Our players will definitely benefit by playing at home against foreign players,” he told APP.

Miandad, who represented Pakistan in Tests and ODIs between 1975 and 1996, said the PSL would bring young talent to the fore.

“To keep the tournament more transparent the PCB should also keep a strict eye on the PSL to keep it spotless from any fixing issues,” he said. Speaking about the revival of Pakistan-India cricketing ties, Miandad said both the neighbours should sort out ways to make the bilateral series happen as the world cricket was incomplete without the Indo-Pak games.
