PSL Season 6: Shahid Afridi blames PCB for PSL Season 6 postponement.



PSL Season 6: Former Pakistani skipper Shahid Afridi fired questions towards Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and blames them for the postponement of Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 6. He added the cricket board were not prepared with a second-string plan to tackle the situation.



Players and the members from the support staff in the PSL were tested positive for the coronavirus. As many as seven members got infected with the virus post which the league was halted and postponed.



Shahid Afridi speaking at a function in Lahore said that PSL should not have been postponed if PCB had other plans to handle the situation.



?The PSL is a very big brand of Pakistan and Pakistan cricket and it is unfortunate that the PCB didn?t appear to have a plan B for this important event,? he said.



?But it appears they didn?t have a plan B when the COVID-19 cases were detected among some players and officials and this is surprising to me. The postponement didn?t send out a good message,? he said.



The owner of Quetta Gladiators, a franchise in PSL, held PCB responsible for the outburst of the virus as the board failed to maintain the safety standards in the T20 League.



?I think the PCB is 90 per cent responsible for the faults in the bio-secure bubble created for the tournament which eventually led to the postponement of the PSL,? he said.



Nadeem Omar, the owner of Quetta Gladiators, later admitted the miscommunication between PCB and six franchises of the Pakistan Super League which put them in a drastic situation.

Asia Cup 2023: Pakistan hopeful to host India in 2023 Asia Cup said PCB chief.



Asia Cup 2023: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ehsan Mani is hopeful to host Indian in the 2023 Asia Cup in Pakistan and hopes political relation between the two will improve by then.



Asia Cup in 2022 will be hosted in Sri Lanka while the next Asia Cup will be held in Pakistan. With this statement, all the probabilities of the Asia Cup 2021 are ruled out and it is clear that the continental cricket tournament will be rescheduled to 2022.



?In 2022 Sri Lanka will have it (Asia Cup) and in 2023 Pakistan will be hosting the regional event. I am optimistic that by time the political relations between the two countries would have improved and this would pave the way for the Indian team to come to Pakistan,? Mani said.



?Both the sides are looking positives in improving relations. This can be seen in recent times through the backdoor and by then the ice will melt completely,? said Mani to a newspaper during an interview.



He further added if BCCI and Indian cricketers agree on touring Pakistan, it will be a huge breakthrough for the Pakistan Cricket Board and Pakistan cricket.



Ehsan Mani eliminated all the chances of Asia Cup 2021 as Pakistan will be busy with PSL and India will be devoted to ICC World Test Championship 2021 against New Zealand.



?There is no question of the Asia Cup being held this year as we are very busy and don?t have time to spare this year.?



The remaining games of PSL season 6 will be held in June said PCB chief. PSL was postponed recently due to covid-19 cases inside the bio-bubbles.



He said he has not received any information from BCCI regarding sending the second-string Indian side to Asia Cup 2021.



We have been assured by ICC about our participation in the T20 World Cup 2021 which is to be held in India later this year disclosed Mani.

Mohammad Rizwan says PSL is bigger and better than IPL: Pakistan wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan has claimed that the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is bigger than the Indian Premier League (IPL). He said that even the International players sit as reserve players in Pakistan's T20 league.



On Thursday, the draft for the eighth season of the Pakistan Super League took place. Many well-known Pakistani players and former cricketers engaged with the league were there. Mohammad Rizwan, a well-known Pakistani wicketkeeper-batsman who presently serves as Multan Sultans' captain and who helped his team win the PSL title in the 2021 tournament, was also present at the ceremony. In reference to the PSL and the Indian Premier League (IPL), Rizwan made a significant comment prior to the IPL mini-Auction that has got the internet buzzing.



<h2>Mohammad Rizwan explains why PSL is bigger than IPL</h2>



The IPL, which premiered in 2008, was the first notable T20 league in the world. However, according to Rizwan, the Pakistan Super League is currently one of the toughest in the world.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/cricketpakcompk/status/1603654508097048576
</div></figure>



Rizwan said to Reporters, ?PSL has stunned the entire world. There were talks earlier that PSL won't be successful, but even we, as a player, have felt that PSL is a success. The IPL is there, but if you ask any player around the world who has played in the PSL, he would say that Pakistan's league is the toughest in the world.?



?The players who are reserves here, they are sitting on the bench at the international level as well (the reserve players are too of international level). Pakistan are getting good backup players, and PSL should get credit for that,? he added.

Terror attack near stadium in Quetta: An exhibition game of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) was stopped on Sunday at the Nawab Akbar Bugti Stadium in Quetta due to a nearby terrorist attack, and the top players like Babar Azam and Shahid Afridi who were playing were rushed to safety in the dressing room.



According to PTI, the game was stopped for a short time when an explosion in Quetta's Police Lines area injured five persons. According to a senior police official, all on-site rescue efforts had been completed, and the injured had been taken to the hospital. In a statement on Sunday, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an outlawed organization, claimed responsibility for the attacks. It claimed that the explosive was aimed at the security personnel.

</div></figure>



The police official said "As soon as the explosion happened, as a precautionary measure, the match was stopped and players were taken to the dressing room for a while. Later, after the green signal, the match resumed."



The <a href="https://twitter.com/thePSLt20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pakistan Super League</a> will begin on February 13 and continue until March 19. In response to pressure from Baloch supporters that Quetta also be granted PSL venue status, the Pakistan Cricket Board scheduled the exhibition game between Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi. Zalmi are led by Babar Azam, while Sarfaraz Ahmed, a former captain of Pakistan, is in charge of the Gladiators.



According to Pakistani news site Dawn.com, the blast occurred at the FC Mussa checkpoint on Sunday morning, injuring more than five persons. Local media sources state that the explosion happened in a safe area close to the Quetta Police headquarters and the Quetta Cantonment entrance.



Due to the precarious security situation and the fear of terrorist attacks, sports activity has been completely stopped in Quetta, the capital of the unrest-ridden Balochistan province, for the past few years. TTP terrorist attacks have increased recently. 80 people were killed and several others were injured just a few days ago in a suicide bombing attack in Peshawar on police lines.

"Bowling to Babar or a tailender is same for me," says Mohammad Amir ahead of their clash in PSL 8: The buzz surrounding a highly anticipated matchup with Babar Azam has been downplayed by pacer Mohammad Amir ahead of their clash in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL). On Tuesday, Amir's Karachi Kings will play Babar's Peshawar Zalmi.



Babar Azam has been traded to Peshawar Zalmi this year from Karachi Kings for Shoaib Malik and straightforward is now the new captain of Peshawar Zalmi. Currently, Babar Azam vs Mohammad Amir is the most hyped or trending topic in PSL 8. Imad Wasim is the new captain of Karachi Kings and Imad and co. are scheduled to face off against Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi on 14 February.



Talking to a local channel, Mohammad Amir made some statements that have added up some more spice to the 'Babar vs Amir' showdown. In a PSL special program by ARYnews, Amir was asked, how he sees the inclusion of Shoaib Malik in the team in the trade for Babar Azam. He quickly replied that "Shoaib bhai is one of the most experienced players in T20I and I can release such 3 players to get Shoaib bhai in."

</div></figure>



The reporter asked next about the trends in social media of rivalry between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings, Amir said, "PSL is all about rivalries. Previously it was Lahore-Karachi, now it is Karachi-Peshawar. And these kinds of matchups and player rivalries, keep players on their toes. I personally like these sorts of challenges because it keeps me focused.?



The reporter then said, "when Virat Kohli was at his peak, the world acknowledged him that time, and you were still able to take his wicket every time you face him. Now world acknowledges Babar Azam, what are your plans now?"



Amir responded "I don't have any such match-ups against anyone. For me, bowling to Babar and a tailender is the same. My job is to take wickets and win matches for my team, so for me, facing Babar or a tailender batting at number 10 will be the same.?
