KARACHI – Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi has yetanother good news for the cricket fans in Pakistan.

He has said that the Board is seriously mulling the option of staging a T10league after the franchise owners of the PSL expressed a keen interest inthe proposed enterprise.

“We discussed this idea in Dubai (during PSL matches) and it was clear thatthe franchise owners wanted a T10 league in Pakistan. We have agreed inprinciple to consider this option,” Sethi said.

However, he said that so far the Board is yet to find a suitable window forthe proposed T10 league.

“We have quite a packed international schedule this year,” he said. “Weplay the West Indies at home after the PSL and then the team will betouring Ireland, England and Scotland in May-June. This will be followed byhome series against New Zealand and Australia before we tour South Africa.In between, we are also supposed to fulfil our commitment with the WestIndian board to play a tri-series in the US.

“That’s why finding a window that will suit all is pretty tough,” he added.

But finding a window for a T10 tournament which won’t span over more than aweek shouldn’t be a stumbling block for the Board.

Pakistan do have a few spare weeks in August and September when the onlyproblem could be hot weather. The Board will most likely be hosting matchesof the T10 league in Karachi and Lahore.

The other issue was that there were fears that a T10 league could eat outof PSL’s resources.
