The Team owner is obviously a rich man. I wonder how much he has done for the poor of our country? But he won't know as he and his family live abroad and only come here for business management.

They should have given more chance to domestic players, That pakistani malinda Afraz Khoso should have been given a chance as he bowls accurate yorkers and deceptively fast bouncers

@Whatacountry this is not his job. This is the problem with us we look forward towards Malik Riaz. We dont pay him tax but we expect them to do the job which is supposed to be done by GOVT. This guy is bringing good name to Pakistan and Cricket. I bet you were sleeping when you voted in the General Elections

@Whatacountry,
The rich man is not obliged to do anything for the poor. However, if he does anything for the poor, it will out of his generosity and good will. There is nothing evil about being rich as long the money is earned and not looted.

I do not know why so hype about Shahid Afridi and Amir? Looking at teams I feel strongest team is Quetta. Team has many match winners, like Sarfraz, Shahzad, Peterson, Sangakara, Chingubara and Anwer Ali ... plus certainly Gul, Holder and Babar are names to respect too. With players they have, in most cases they should be beat any world side. With good set of openers, No 3 and No 4 being the best in the world, all rounders like Anwer Ali. chigumbura, Holder and Nabi, world class bowlers in U Gul and Babar, and currently world best WK (Sarfraz), I could not see how they could lose. There formidable team, in order, could be:
Sarfraz A
A Shahzad
Peterson
Sangakara
Chigumbura
Asad Shafiq/Luke wright
Anwer Ali
M Nabi/Bilal Asir//Saad Nasim/Ramaiz jr
U Gul
Zulfiqar Babar/Holder
A Cheema/B Khan/A Rehman/M Nawaz
I do not think any team in PSL has such balance strength. Obvious too, as owner 'Nadeem Omar' of Omar Associates is himself a good cricketer and selected team on merit.
