| Pakistan Super League |
We are negotiating with players from South Africa, England, West Indies, Sri Lanka, and Australia. These are major countries and we have received positive responses. Names will be announced as soon as we have a substantial number of players confirmed.
BCCI does not allow their players to visit Pakistan, but we are in contact with players from Bangladesh.
We are in discussions with big names including Chris Gayle and others. Our representative is in the West Indies to discuss the PSL with players there.
We are approaching top players from every country including Bangladesh. We have taken care of the security situation and are informing players about our security measures. They can come and see all oursecurity arrangements for the PSL.
We have no policy to ban any player from any country. Our policy is to allow any player who can come and play and benefit the Pakistan Super league and Pakistan.
Bidding of players will be done in the last week of February. We have plans to do it after 24th of February.
We have 5 categories, 'Diamond', 'Platinum', 'Gold', 'Silver' and 'Emerging'. Both Pakistani and foreign players will be allocated in these categories. We are offering one of the best wages per match in comparison to other leagues.
This is a 100 million dollar tournament. Over a period of time, capacity will increase.
In emerging category we will give priority to young Pakistani players.
We have advertised broadcasting rights and we have had an overwhelming response. We have also had very good responses from franchises. There are 5 teams but we have more potential buyers.
By the end of February everything will be finalized.
We are thinking about giving our women’s team some exposure during this tournament.
