Premier League to be finalised in a month’s time, says PCB |
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is confident
about finalising its Premier League Twenty20 competition in a month’s time after
receiving a series of presentations from foreign and local broadcasters and sports
management companies, sources said. “Right now the presentations are hovering
around the concept of the premier league for Pakistan . The financial and other
aspects of the event will be finalised later on,” the Daily Times quoted a PCB
official, as saying. He said the costs of the Premier League is likely to be financed
through sponsors, broadcasting rights and other avenues. “In fact we are hopeful
that we might end up making profits from the first season of the Premier League,”
he said. The PCB official said there were suggestions that due to security concerns
in Pakistan , the tournament should be held in the UAE. “But the PCB’s point is
very clear that the event will be launched from Pakistan . Our feeling is that
if we start the Premier League from abroad it would be difficult to get it back
to Pakistan ,” he said. “The league should get its name in a month’s time if everything
goes according to plan,” the official said. “The most positive aspect has been
that parties and sponsors have shown interest to be part of PCB’s league,” he added.
