Follow UsPakistan pacer Wahab Riaz felt that all the cricket leagues in the world are behind the Indian Premier League (IPL) in terms of attracting the best players in the world including the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Riaz, who has been a part of the PSL since its inception in 2016, said that it is not possible for any other competition to compete with the IPL.
"IPL is a league where all the top international players come and play. You can’t compare IPL with PSL, I believe IPL is at a different level. Their commitments, the way they run things, communicate things, the way they draft the players, that is totally different. I don’t think any league can compete with the IPL, but if there is any league that stands behind it, it has to be the PSL. The League in Pakistan has proved it,” Riaz told Cricket Pakistan’s YouTube Channel.
However, he opined that the PSL has the best bowling talent in the entire world.
“The standards of bowling are quite high. The kind of bowlers you get in the PSL is not found in other leagues, not even in the IPL. This is why PSL doesn’t have many high-scoring games. The bowling attacks in PSL are the best in the world,“ Riaz said.
The PSL is set to resume its suspended 2021 season on June 1 with the match between Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars.
