Pakistan Super League (PSL) chairman Najam Sethi earlier today invited Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his arch political enemy Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan to watch the final match of the tournament on February 23 in Dubai.
“I invite Patron PCB Nawaz Sharif and WC winning captain Imran Khan to PSL Final on February 23. Gentlemen, put politics aside and watch cricket!” Sethi said on Twitter.
The PSL chairman urged the social media community and “PSL lovers” to start a trend on the microblogging website in a bid to build pressure on both the politicians to attend the upcoming event.
With 69 local and 29 foreign stars, the five-team, 24-match league started off on February 4 in the United Arab Emirates as its matches are being played at two UAE stadiums in Sharjah and Dubai.
The teams were sold for a total of $93 million to ARY media group (Karachi Kings), Qatar Oil (Lahore Qalandars), UAE Capital Venture (Islamabad United), Haier (Peshawar Zalmi) and Omar Associates (Quetta Gladiators) for 10 years, with $200,000 salaries for top-tier players and relatively handsome pays for mid-tier and emerging talent as well. The winning side, meanwhile, will bring home $1 million.
With the legendary Wasim Akram and Ramiz Raja as brand ambassadors, the PSL is being touted as Pakistan’s much needed opportunity to resurface on the international cricket scene in the limited overs.
