Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Najam Sethi has said that PSL has become a brand. The league has made its mark globally, all the franchises have played an active role in making PSL a success.

Expressing his views while talking to the media at an event in Karachi, he said that Karachi is a city of cricket fans. We have restored international cricket from Karachi. England and New Zealand made a wonderful visit to Karachi. Karachi has been suffering from problems for a long time. Cricket fans live in Shahr Quaid, they can never ignore Karachi.

He said that PSL 8 will be organized in a grand manner. In the current edition, world famous cricketers are coming to Pakistan. PSL has become a national identity, every franchise has played its role in making the league successful. Nadeem Umar of Quetta Gladiator has always supported PSL, every franchise has fought for PSL. In the beginning, there were difficulties regarding the arrival of foreign players, foreign players to come to Pakistan. They were hesitant, Darren Sammy of West Indies came to Pakistan and benefited a lot, the confidence of foreign cricketers increased.

He said that Pakistan Army also played a significant role in the success of PSL. Cooperation and help was received from every sector in making the league a success. We want to show the world that Pakistan is a peaceful country and everyone in Pakistan. Love cricket. There was a desire to hold PSL matches in Quetta as well. However, it was not possible. An exhibition match between Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators will be played in Quetta on February 5. Two star-studded teams will face each other in the field. Four to five players involved in the exhibition match are playing BPL. All the players are clearly banned from the recommendations. All the players who are named in the exhibition match will be back from BPL. Want to see all the stars in the jersey of Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiator.

Chairman PCB said that we are going to invest more money in PSL 8 this year. This time PSL will be better than last league. Initially it was decided to participate in PSL with five teams, the second season. The final was to be held in Lahore, the international players were not satisfied, all the franchises cooperated and the final was held in Lahore.

He said that the world saw that we are peaceful, all the teams of the world are coming here. Federal and Balochistan government had requested that a PSL match should also be held in Quetta. I have sacrificed in the interest of the country. A few players have expressed their regret for participating in the exhibition match. This process will be harmful for us. All the players’ requests have been rejected, all of them will have to leave the league for the sake of the country. If you don’t want it, PCB will make other shirts.

He said that the marketing of PSL is not going well, more money has to be spent for better marketing.
