The Player draft for the 2023 season of the Pakistan Super League went underway yesterday. However, the event was a flop show because of the arrangements made at the venue. As it turns out, the venue had very dim lights, which made the visibility very dull, and there was no arrangement for a microphone either.
Here is the tweet

In the meantime, a large number of well-known Pakistani players and former cricketers from the league attended the event. Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan’s premier wicketkeeper-batsman, was also present. In the 2021 PSL season, Rizwan, the Multan Sultans’ current captain, helped the team win the championship.
Rizwan made a significant statement regarding the PSL and the Indian T20 League before the draft that has the internet buzzing. The Indian T20 League debuted in 2008 as the first significant T20 league in the world, but according to Rizwan, the Pakistan Super League is currently the toughest in the world.
“Hamko pata hai ki PSL ne duniya ko hairaan kar diya hai. Shuru me baatein ho rahi thi ki PSL kaamyaab nahi hoga, but abhi hamein khud, as a player feel ho raha hai ki ye PSL ne kya dhoom macha di hai duniya me. Ham keh rahe hai ki IPL hai, but iss time duniya ke players se pucha jaye, jo yahan se khelke jaate hain, vo keh rahe hain ki duniya ki sabse tough league Pakistan ki hai.
(PSL has stunned the entire world. There were talks earlier that PSL won’t be successful, but even us, as a player, have felt that PSL is a success. The IPL is there, but if you ask any player around the world who has played in the PSL, he would say that Pakistan’s league is the toughest in the world.),” Rizwan said during his interaction with reporters ahead of the draft.
