Pakistan Super League (PSL) Governing Council chairman and PCB Executive Committee head Najam Sethi has said that the PSL is vital for Pakistan cricket and it will open doors for new stars and also revolutionize cricket in Pakistan.

Talking to private news channel Sethi said: “People of status quo are worried from the PSL which has the potential to become the second biggest league of the world. We are trying to minimize its budget. Some people from the PCB are also against the PSL on financial grounds because they are of the view that the board is not in a position to bear such huge expenses but we are successfully going to start this mega event which will also benefit our domestic cricket.

“The PSL has also created new jobs, introduce new trends in Pakistan cricket and increase our professional capabilities. We have borrowed money from the PCB for the PSL and in the coming years, we will make the PSL more profitable. We will also bring PSL on Pakistan pitches in near future that will facilitate revival of international cricket in Pakistan,” he added.

Sethi said that for this mega event, they had worked day and night which would certainly bear fruit. “Every PCB chairman has right to choose his team. We have sacked some people and inducted professional and highly educated people. Downsizing is not an appropriate word rather we reduced staff at every level to save budget. Sheharyar Khan is PCB chairman and I am his follower. Prime Minister has bestowed a heavy responsibility on my shoulder and I will serve Pakistan cricket with dignity and exit with grace.”
