International players interested in PPL – Cricket News Update
From the moment http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747, prospective stakeholders have shown interest in the idea and are keen to participate,
given the attraction of lucrative returns.
However, nothing has been finalised yet, as holding a league of such magnitude requires efforts, both on the part of sponsors and organisers, and the PCB is still in the planning phase.
Ever since his appointment, the chairman of the PCB, Zaka http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashraf-c46397, has eagerly initiated the vision of bringing back international cricket in the terrorism-affected country however, his efforts up till now have yielded limited results - a group of British
university student’s recently toured to play against an under-19 side.
The arrangement of PPL is seen as a massive initiative - expected to garnish positive response from not only local sponsors and players, but is also seen as a major attraction for international players due to an appealing money incentive.
Sources have revealed that the board is keen on taking help from its national team players, all of whom could act as middle-men and help the tournament become a success, by convincing some foreign cricketers to come and be a part of the event.
“A senior member of the team is playing a vital role in this regard, The cricketer’s representative is also in close touch with the PCB as well as foreign players on the issue. He’s already given a presentation which was impressive and is set to give an
important one later this month,” told a board’s official.
The PCB officials further revealed that former Sri Lankan great, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611, has already shown interest in turning up for the event.
“These players have promised to feature whenever they are invited. This is just the beginning and we are expecting more confirmations,” said the official.
Reports further surfaced that PCB has also convinced West Indian legend http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brian-Charles-Lara-c48471 to feature in the PPL. The outcome of this event could go a long way in helping Pakistan to regain its international venue status.
