PSL started and the controversy started with Umar Akmal getting suspended with immediate affect for anti corruption charges and the Pakistan cricket board is yet to release the seriousness of the issue and they are yet to publicly confirm what the issue is. I am yet to follow PSL matches but i will be following the matches because these tournaments will have an impact on the upcoming T20 World Cup and the team selection depends upon the performance of these leagues.

Nothing new about Umar Akmal. He has been in controversy in the past. Worst player in the history of Pakistani cricket. This will seriously tarnish the reputation of PSL. PCB should come out with a quick response to the situation.

I think one man should not have such a big impact on the tournament. Umar Akmal is banned from playing the PSL and this news has negatively effected the tournament. Only temporary banning him will improve the situation ?

This is really frustrating. The match between Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans is underway at Lahore (Pakistan Super League), and DSPORT is not showing it. They are saying that there is some technical issue... I wanted to watch the match for 1 hour, since the South Africa vs Australia T20 match is about to start in 50 minutes from now.

Edit: Coverage has resumed at DSPORT. Nice to see Fakhar Zaman playing after a long gap.

A close win by Karachi Kings. The chase by Peshawar Zalmi was good but they just were not able to hit a few more boundaries. Last over by Umaid Asif actually decided the game. No boundaries with two wickets. Impressive 50 by livingstone, but still could not make the team win. Looks like PSL is soon going to be the second most entertaining franchise league after of-course IPL.

10 minutes to go for the start of the game between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators. I am not sure whether the matches will be shown in India or not (I heard that it will be covered by DSPORT). There are a few players whom I am waiting for, such as Jason Roy, Ben Cutting and Colin Munro. Would be interesting to watch the crowd response as well.

Even if no channel in India shows the PSL, You can watch HBL PSL 2020 Live - Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United - Match 1 - 20 Feb Live. You wont be disappointed to see the electric atmosphere.  Smiley

There is coverage in India. I am watching the match in DSPORT. So far, an excellent first innings from Islamabad United and they made a total of 168, thanks to an electrifying 64 from Dawid Malan. For the Quetta Gladiators Mohammad Hasnain and Ben Cutting bowled well, picking 7 wickets between them. But the other bowlers (especially Fawad Ahmed) were expensive.

Nice to know that someone is covering the league in India!

PSL is covered everywhere in the world. This is one of the popular league which gains equal attention like IPL.
Here is the complete lists of TV channels around the world covering the PSL matches.

Babar Azam and Imad Wasim propelled Karachi Kings to the first total above 200 this season, with the former making 78 from just 56 balls at Karachi. Hasan Ali was very expensive, and conceded 52 from his 4 overs. The 20th over, which was bowled by him went for 20 runs, with Iftikhar Ahmed hitting two sixes and a four of the last 3 balls. Peshawar Zalmi is struggling now, after Jordan picked up 2 wickets.

This is the worst start that PSL can get for this edition. It tarnishes the reputation of the league and the foreign players may stay away from it. Even the TV channels may show reluctance in bidding for the broadcast rights, if they suspect that it is tainted. There should be a zero-tolerance policy from the PCB and they need to make sure that there is no repetition of similar events.

This is nothing new as we have history of these both brothers with controversies even they are talented players and have bright future in cricket but their atitude is never been acceptable by many in team and board sometime they are too much rude and have many issues like this in past hopefully now this will end his good career in very bad mod.

I think that the PSL tournament going to held in Pakistan is going be a great tournament for the cricket fans to enjoy.

The PSL has already Started and it will be a wonderful event.  Smiley




Just Amazing, I've seen this ceremony on youtube but it would have been nice to have a chance to see this Opening Ceremony Live.
Ahmed Gidil's hosting performance was not very impressive I think he is so much young to handle this ceremony but overall the program has been good.

Which team do you guys think will win PSL 2020. Last time winners were Quetta Gladiators, do you think they have a chance this time too?

Don't know exactly but defending champions Quetta Gladiators look strong again and they got their first wicket in the first ball. Its still early in the tournament and after few matches, we will be able to guess who is the favorite and in-form team.

What you are thinking about PSL it is going to be start February 20 onwards in Pakistan. How pakistan can they gives security for foreign players? and Pakistan peoples are going give good responses to PSL? Please share your thoughts here.

Last time when Bangladesh visited Pakistan they closed the whole area near the stadium. A group of intelligence and security officials was accompanying the Bangladesh team. They provided the security of the highest level as if the head of any country was traveling.

They are trying there level best. I am sure they will do the same this time also. PSL is popular in Pakistan but it still needs more exposure for other cricketing countries to follow.
I think that the PSL tournament going to held in Pakistan is going be a great tournament for the cricket fans to enjoy. Though, the PCB have to try their best to ensure the security of not only the abroad players but also the local players. They should take help from the military service for that. Yes, I think that the Pakistani people will give good response to this.
During the Bangladesh tour, I think that PCB gave their utmost to ensure the security of the players which is a really great sign for the cricket fans and Pakistan itself. This time, during the PCL, they should devote themselves more than they did in the Bangladesh tour, as hundreds of foreign players will be present there.


Franchise T20 leagues have emerged as the main revenue generators for various cricket boards around the world, including the BCCI, ECB and CA. The PCB has yet to fully capitalize on the PSL, since the previous editions were being conducted in the United Arab Emirates. This time, hopefully they will be able to generate more revenue as it is being played within Pakistan.
Yes, they should be able to make more revenue than last time PCL was organized in UAE. The Pakistani people are huge fans of the cricket. So, as cricket is stepping inside the country, the fans would be eagerly waiting to see it live. So, yes, they will make more revenue out of it.

-No spot for Glenn Maxwell in Australian T-20 squad ..

Yeah Maxwell was left out once again. I never understand why the Australian selectors leave Maxwell out of the T20 team all the time even though he has played well in the domestic competition, it just doesn't make sense to me as he is one of the top T20 players when he is in form so he should be playing in most T20 matches but for some reason he never gets picked to play.

I looked into it and found out that he's ruled out from this tour because of his recent Elbow injury and he voluntary took break for surgery. He's going to miss First phase of IPL as well.

"Maxwell : Representing Australia is the highest honour in cricket and something I cherish," Maxwell said. "I was not confident that I could perform at international level with my elbow in its current state and have decided to undergo surgery straight away to fix the issue."

If this season they able to do this all good and peoples also came in ground for fun then surely we can expect some good in future because here we have some other issues as well just because of them its very difficult for PCB to bring up some good number of crowd its very tough task but still many hopes and good wishes going on for them.

A lot of revenue is coming from these franchises to their respective board. I think except BCCI not all of them are earning profits. Franchises alone will not be able to generate profit. There is a lot to be done by other boards in order to make their leagues profitable.

Just an example, BCCI earns a huge chunk of its revenue just by selling broadcasting rights.
