ganeshran Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf believes there are elements who don't want to see the revival of international cricket in Pakistan and neither do they want the Super League Twenty20 tournament to be held on time. "I am aware there is a conspiracy to keep Pakistan isolated in the cricket world. But we have not given up hope and we are confident we can organize the Super League T20 and also this will lead to revival of international cricket in Pakistan," Ashraf said. Without elaborating who these people were, who wanted to keep Pakistan cricket isolated internationally, Ashraf said arrangements for the Super League (PSL) are continuing at full steam. "I know there are people who are pessimists and who don't believe that the PSL can be held nor do they see the revival of international cricket in our country. But the PCB has not given up hope and is neither dejected," he said. The PCB chief admitted that at present Pakistan cricket is going through difficult times. "Obviously when you take into account that no Test team has played in Pakistan since 2009 and teams are reluctant to come here, it is a tough situation for us," he said. There have been reports in the Pakistan media about the PCB having the option of holding majority of the PSL matches in the UAE and just holding the knockout games in Pakistan if the reputed players are not given NOC's by their respective boards for the PSL. Managing director of the PSL, Salman Butt last week said in a official statement that they had succeeded in signing around 50 overseas players who would now need to get NOC's from their respective boards to play in the PSL. Sources aware of developments in the board also said that the chairman is personally disappointed at not getting support and help from Bangladesh and India to revive international cricket in Pakistan. http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/54340/conspiracy-to-keep-pakistan-cricket-isolated-pcb
JaFanatic Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 it is their inability to start the tourney in time :facepalm:
NareshK Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Its strange how they blame everyone of conspiring against them when they are the ones responsible for their present situation. Denial mindset.
Ultimate_Game Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 :hysterical: Sure it's not your fault but everyone else's :giggle: Surprised it took them so long to play the blame and kaanspiracy game :haha:
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 yes there are elements. he is right. But they are all Pakistanis and Talibanis only
G_B_ Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 they should have held the tournament in UAE used the money they made to spread the wealth around in pakistani cricket.
Marut Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 And the conspirators are, according to Pakis, no surprises here, India.
King Khan Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I'm very doubtful with the figure (50) Mr. Zaka state about overseas player there. IMO he is lying. If none of them are from India/Bangladesh, now that makes them conspirators!!!
Desi Cartman Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Managing director of the PSL, Salman Butt last week said in a official statement that they had succeeded in signing around 50 overseas players who would now need to get NOC's from their respective boards to play in the PSL. what :yikes:

Sean Bradley Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 The PCB chief admitted that at present Pakistan cricket is going through difficult times. We keep listening to this thrice a year. So Zaka Ashraf comes with a begging bowl each time and when he is kicked in the back side he goes to the media and says there are elements (India) who are conspiring againt PSL and revival of pakistan cricket. :facepalm:
wanted_desi Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Man, few years ago i thought it was just wrong to assume that Pakistanis are whingers, lazy and the ones those try to put the fault on others. But, working with them and their cricket team from past few years made me realize that it is just the way they are raised, their culture which promotes it. And you do it see it in every case. Players blaming Captains, Captain blaming selectors and other players, fixers blaming bookies.
