Pakistan Cricket League will bring in Pak celebs as ambassadors

Pakistan Cricket Board is all set to gear up the game and its image with full fervor and enthusiasm. After the successful Zimbabwe tour to Pakistan and #CricketComesHome campaign, the Board has another exciting surprise for cricket lovers in the form of Pakistan Super League (PSL).

The PSL tournament is expected to be held in Doha in February 2016. What makes this league exciting and glamorous is that our favorite celebrities of entertainment world will also be associated with PSL.

Unlike IPL, where stars of Tinsel Town own different teams, our celebrities will act as the brand ambassador for their teams. In an exclusive talk with Hip, an official representative revealed that:

"There is going to be five female and five male celebrities and we are going to pair one male celebrity with a female celebrity."

There will be five teams representing five major cities of Pakistan including: Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Quetta, and Peshawar. The matches will be played on T20 format and 40 international players (except Indian players) will take part in the league. The tournament will be launched on September 20th at Expo Center Lahore, where the official logo of the league will be revealed.

"There is a logo launch ceremony on September 20th. It will be a mega event, we have invited celebrities and Pakistan's women cricket team is also going to be there," said an official representative

About the participating players and celebrities who possibly can be a part of this mega event, our source at PCB further said:

"The induction of players is going on. There will be another event in December which will reveal the complete list of players. I cannot reveal the celebrities who are to be brand ambassadors, but I can assure you that they are superstars and most loved celebrities of the country."

While talking about the focal purpose behind this celebrity collaboration, the person said:

"The main purpose is to feel the same excitement and bring back the passion that we once used to exude in 90s. This is to provide something special to Pakistani people and let them celebrate the passion for cricket"

This is indeed a great initiative that will totally change the game of cricket and the way people perceive Pakistani cricket all over the world. Associating celebrities with cricket will bring a new life to a sport our nation is most passionate about.
