PSL is our identity, says Afridi
ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi termed the Pakistan Super League (PSL) as the country’s cricketing identity and saying the national team benefits from the league.
In a press release issued on Tuesday, the veteran cricketer said the talent in Pakistan’s Twenty20 and One-day International teams has groomed courtesy PSL.
Afridi, who is representing Multan Sultans in the on-going edition, urged fans to come in numbers at the venues to watch PSL matches.
“I want crowds to come in big numbers and the Pakistan Cricket Board must also chalk out a plan to bring more and more people to the PSL matches,” he said.
Afridi said the matches in Karachi and Lahore will be full-houses and the players enjoy the game when the grounds are packed with crowd.
“I can see three to four players who can make a place in the national team from this year’s PSL,” said the all-rounder.

How could our identity be so confined? PSL is just a small initiative still in the making and premature.
PSL is exciting and pure.
Those 3-4 players are: Sameen Gul (not sure how he hasn't made it yet), the left arm spinner Khan and Musa Khan (right handed fast bowler of u19 world cup).
Great, true, correct and penetrating statement by the dashing Shahid Afridi, one of the best cricketers of his era, age and time. Well done and keep it up.
