Pakistan Super League...

[Asim]

Haroon Lorgat, the former ICC chief executive who is an advisor to the Pakistan Super League (PSL), has said FICA's warning to players not to travel to Pakistan because of security concerns could adversely impact the tournament. Lorgat, however, said the reality of the ground situation in Lahore was different from common perceptions. "It's unfortunate, there are many players who will be undecided and when a statement is negative, it doesn't help," Lorgat said of FICA's comments. "It doesn't help the confidence of some players. Fortunately there are many who have already committed and who are confident they trust the assurance given by the PCB. "I think the statement is not against the PSL, it's about the safety situation in Pakistan. While we understand that sort of a statement from the players association, I don't think we necessarily agree with it. Here I'm sitting again, in Lahore, and I understand the situation on the ground in Lahore. There's been a very good response across the globe by broadcasters who are keen and interested, and who are currently studying the detailed document. We are confident the league will happen on March 26. There's a lot of interest from players as well. We know what the challenges are, it's reality, but we will overcome those challenges." http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/601890.html

I don't get this - they are going to play league matches among 5 teams to eliminate 1 and then play semi finals? Why not have 4 teams from the start?

[Trundler27]

isn't this the league that claimed a few indian players were adamant to participate in? well regardless of who plays... wish this league well as this might be the only way for local paki fans to watch international players from other nations
