Jalal Yunus said, “Look at how many challenges there were in the BPL. But it was said by the board from 6-7 months ago that this is the time when our tournament will be held, but more tournaments are happening outside. In particular, the International League T20 is being held in Dubai. Here (ILT-20), most of the cricketers who used to play in our BPL are playing there. That means we’re not getting too many foreigners because a large part is playing there.

“But we knew it in advance that we might not get that kind of player here. It could have been that we could not have done the BPL. But we want to keep it going so that there is no gap. That’s why we are doing the tournament, we know we will not get cricketers at this time, that is, of international standard. It was a challenge you were told beforehand. The rest of the problems, however, are also for this reason. But that’s what we’ve been saying before.

Although there is criticism about the BPL, the BCB is happier with field cricket. Jalal Yunus said that even after that, the tournament is going well. The most important thing is that we are seeing that our local boys are scoring well. We wanted our players to score runs and that’s it.

However, cricketers like Mohammad Rizwan, Dawid Malan, Shoaib Malik, and Mohammad Amir have come to play in the BPL. Haris Rauf-Naseem Shah can be seen in the BPL in a few days as Pakistan’s ODI series against New Zealand is over.
