Improvement in Pak T20 cricket due to PSL: Waqar

Lahore: Legendary fast bowler and former head coach Waqar Younis believes HBL Pakistan Super League has brought significant improvement in Pakistan’s Twenty20 cricket and has constantly been throwing new talent to the fore. Pakistan topped the ICC T20I rankings in November 2017 after two editions of the HBL PSL and have been the number-one side since January 2018, an improvement Waqar thinks is primarily due to the annual HBL PSL. “I think if you look at the shorter version, you feel there are significant improvements and that are mainly due to the PSL,” said Waqar, who is the director for defending champions Islamabad United. Waqar was Pakistan’s coach when the HBL PSL’s first edition was held in 2016. He left the job soon after Pakistan’s unsuccessful World Twenty20 campaign in India. Waqar said HBL PSL introduces new talent for Pakistan and then its the PCB who has to take them to newer heights.
