The Pakistan Cricket Board is considering the prospect of organising a large-scale award ceremony, modelled on the lines of the ICC annual awards in October this year, in a bid to attract foreign players to the country, and improve the image of the
country.
“The idea is to showcase the positive side of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 cricket and its talent on annual basis and utilise the awards ceremony to invite foreign guests as well,” said a source close to the board.
Pakistan has been a no-go area for foreign teams ever since the visiting Sri Lankan team found themselves the targets of a militant terrorist attack in 2009. However, the board has been involved in several attempts to bring international cricket back to
the country, among these the launch of a T20 tournament along the lines of the Indian Premier League. The recent proposal for an awards ceremony is expected to feature the awarding of cash prizes to players, with guests from the ICC and other boards in attendance.
