Pakistan Got New Talent in PSL 2020
Pakistan has become successful in attracting international cricket to home through PSL
PSL 2020 is on full boom now. Once deprived of international cricket, a prominent Cricketing power Pakistan is going to have its League today. Pakistan names its cricket league as a Pakistan Super League (PSL). It is one of many leagues in the world of cricket, including the Indian Premier League in India, Bangladesh Premier League in Bangladesh, and Big Bash in Australia.
Experts alarmed Pakistan that is not producing quality bowlers and batsmen recently. Pakistani circles blamed this situation to the absence of international cricket in Pakistan. In this context, Pakistan Super League has emerged as a blessing for the country that has produced quality cricketers in recent years. Some prominent discoveries through PSL include Shaheen Afridi, Fakhar Zaman, and Shadab Khan.
