Quetta Gladiators owner Nadeem Umar has said that HBL PSL teams should get permanent ownership rights.
In an exclusive interview to Pakistan Cricket’s biggest website www.cricketpakistan.com.pk, Nadeem Umar said that we have always had a good relationship with PCB, but the franchisees have left their businesses and built this brand for 9 years. Also raised, it will be a great injustice that after 10 years he should be asked to leave now, the teams were given permanently in IPL, it should be the same here, the new chairman Mohsin Naqvi as the caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab has proven to be a good administrator. However, they should also give us a level playing field and freedom of action.
He said that last year we had a problem due to Wanindu Hasaranga not coming, this time Aqeel Hussain has also been included. Done, will try not to make 200 runs, batsmen can win you 1-2 matches but only bowlers win the tournament.
Nadeem Umar said that in batting we used to get stuck at the end, the finishing was not happening, we are trying to make the top 6 batsmen perform well, not leaving the responsibility on the tail-enders, this time we batted and bowled. have tried to overcome such issues, have brought in power hitters like Sherfin Rutherford and Riley Russo, the squad is looking very good.
He said that all the teams participating in the event come to the field with full preparation, there is an atmosphere of fierce competition, the direction of the match is always determined in 3 overs, in this situation, the team which has a good batsman or bowler has met the challenge. Will bring victory.
We are happy to have the players we produce perform for any team
Nadeem Umar said that we have had a good relationship with Naseem Shah, he is a good bowler, he has mastered the skills, we hope that he will perform well for Islamabad United, similarly Azam Khan for Islamabad United. Performed great, we are happy if our prepared players perform for any team, eventually they will be gladiators, now we have Mohammad Amir Agye, Wasim Jr, Sohail Khan and Abrar.
Nadeem Umar said that HBL PSL is a big brand and there is tough competition in it, I want all the teams to play well and tell the world how high the standard of cricket is in this league.
