PSL CEO Naseer Oversees Debriefing Session at NCA

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif voiced his concern regarding the Pakistan Super League (PSL) debriefing session, suggesting that individuals without a cricket background are negatively impacting the league.

The PSL administration, under the guidance of CEO Salman Naseer, organized the initial part of the debriefing session with essential participants, such as franchise representatives, the main sponsor, media rights holders, and business partners, at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) earlier today.

Latif criticized the involvement of ‘non-cricketers’ in managing cricket affairs within the nation.

“Non cricketers running cricket affairs in the country … destroying PSL,” Latif posted on X, along with an image from the debriefing session.

During the session, the PSL management presented comprehensive data illustrating the league’s growth over the last decade.

A comparison of the ninth and tenth editions was provided, demonstrating considerable advancements.

CEO Salman Naseer reflected on the decade’s achievements, noting the PSL’s evolution into a globally recognized brand.

“The Pakistan Super League has come a long way since its inception. Marking a decade of cricketing excellence, the 10th edition of the HBL PSL was more than just a milestone – it was a celebration of passion, resilience and unity,” Naseer stated.

He further added, “HBL PSL X shattered numerous records, from viewership to fan engagement, reaffirming the league’s place as a powerhouse in the world of sports.”

He emphasized the increasing importance of digital media, highlighting changes in fan behavior.

“The substantial growth in digital engagement, particularly the 647 per cent surge in live streaming, is a testament to the league’s increasing popularity among cricket fans,” he noted.

Looking forward, Naseer expressed his optimism about the PSL’s future growth and its influence on global cricket.

“PSL is not just a tournament, it’s a movement that unites fans across the globe. As we look ahead towards the next decade, we cannot wait to unravel new stories and thrilling experiences for the fans. Exciting times ahead!”
