Pakistan Super League (PSL) will bring international cricket back to the country

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Executive Committee Chairman Najam Sethi on Monday hailed the Pakistan Super League (PSL) as the means to bring international cricket back to the country.
Addressing a Gold Sponsorship event here earlier today, Sethi, who is also PSL Chairman, reiterated that his goal is to revive international cricket in Pakistan.
“PSL final will be held in Lahore, and once that’s done then hopefully other international teams will also come to Pakistan,” Sethi said.
Terming PSL as the combined asset of the entire Pakistani nation, Sethi said the tournament does not just belong to any particular player or sponsor.
“The tournament belongs to Pakistan, no matter where in the world it is played,” he said.
‘PSL identifying new talent’
Najam Sethi emphasised that PSL will prove to be an important tool in identifying young talent for Pakistan cricket.
“Players from PSL will emerge as the next new talent for the Pakistan cricket team,” he said, adding that the tournament is also boosting a positive image for Pakistan worldwide.
Sethi also said that the board is taking steps to promote cricket in school and other levels.
‘Arranging strictest security for Lahore final’
The PSL chairman said the “strictest security measures are being arranged” for the PSL final in Lahore.
Sethi said the Punjab government, the federal government and the Pakistan Army are fully supporting the board in organising the final in Lahore.
“Giles Clarke himself acknowledged that the security being provided for Lahore final has never been seen before,” Sethi said, referring to the recent visit to Pakistan by President of England and Wales Cricket Board to review security measures for the tournament final.

England cricketer shares experience of Pakistan visit

England cricketer Chris Jordan, who was a key member of Peshawar Zalmi’s winning squad, termed his experience of playing the final of Pakistan Super League in Lahore a “pretty surreal and unreal.” Jordan played his part in a remarkable night in Lahore as Peshawar Zalmi won the second edition of the Pakistan Super League in front of a packed house. In an interview with ecb.co.uk, the Sussex and England man reflected on a whirlwind few days in Pakistan, and his decision to play a match many overseas players turned down. “It was pretty surreal! Obviously from making the decision to go, we were well briefed and everything was well documented about how everything was going to run from the time we left on the plane from Dubai to the time we got back.” said Jordan. “As soon as we landed in Lahore, we were met by military guys, escorted straight onto a bus and had a 10-minute drive to the hotel with a full escort. The road was cordoned off and no-one was on the streets – it was a bit unreal!” ...
