Islamabad: The Pakistan Cricket Board will organise its first ever professional Twenty20 league in the UAE next year.
PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan said in a statement that the UAE has been chosen to host the league in order to “attract the maximum number of foreign players.”
The PCB postponed a planned Pakistan Super League back in 2013 after complaints from investors over tight bidding deadlines and from players over scheduling conflicts.
Pakistan hosted Zimbabwe for three ODIs and two Twenty20s last month in the first visit by a Test-playing nation since gunmen attacked a Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore in 2009.
