Although it took PSL a considerable time to materialise as a project, I for one never lost hope about it blossoming into a reality since it was headed by a wise and experienced man like Najam Sethi. I must hand it to Sethi Sahab that he never lost his focus in face of heavy odds and remained undeterred by the mayhem around him to pull off a real master-stroke.
I know for a fact that there were many who seriously doubted that the League will ever see the light of the day. They questioned each and every aspect of PSL and remained sceptical about the response of the international players, the franchise bidders, the authorities in UAE who would be hosting the league from Feb 4 and so many other things. So much so, it had become a favourite past time of some of the former cricketers as well as few critics on the media to indulge in PSL bashing.
How these people are now compelled to eat their own words and repent their actions is for everyone to see. Today the PSL has emerged as a successful venture which has drawn a stunning response from the international players including those from England, Australia, the West Indies, Sri Lanka and other prominent cricketing nations which is tremendously heart-warming for die-hard supporters of Pakistan cricket like myself and several others.
