PTI Karachi-Pakistan Bureau
Karachi, Apr 29 (PTI) Cricketer-turned-politician Imran
Khan's party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has been given the
green signal by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to organise a
Twenty20 league next month.
A PCB spokesman said that the organisers have been
given a No-Objection Certificate (NOC), revealed the Express
Tribune.
The league named 'Love Pakistan Peace Cricket League
2014' is expected to be played across five cricketing centres
including Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar between May 3-18.
The T20 league is expected to not only rope in current
Pakistan stars but also invite veterans to play in an
exhibition match.
Names like West Indies' legend Vivian Richards and former
India captain Ravi Shastri, who are close friends of the
former Pakistan skipper, are doing the rounds to feature in a
promotional game at the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore.
After PCB's approval, the organisers are hoping to catch
national stars such as Misbah ul Haq, Shahid Afridi and Umar
Gul among others for selection in various teams.
Apart from teams from the four provinces, a team from the
Federal Areas and Afghanistan would also feature in the event.
