Former New Zealand cricketer and commentator Danny Morrison has said the new and emerging talent from Pakistan Super League (PSL) will boost Pakistan cricket. "When you have got all these franchise T20 leagues, a lot of the people like to look at the superstars," Danny said, adding: "But I like to watch the youngsters coming through, the guys who maybe have played one or two PSL's."
When asked which youngster has impressed him in this year's PSL, Danny said in an interview, "Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf impressed a lot. Shadab is only 20 and has already filled in action as captain for Islamabad United. Haris is another one who has impressed me as a spinner for Lahore Qalandars."
To a query, Danny Morrison also said he is looking forward to visit Pakistan once again. "It will be great and exciting to get back," he said. Danny said he had always been impressed and enjoying watching the raw talent that is found and developed from the rural areas.
Resending to a question regarding the talent hunt programs conducted by franchises, Danny Morrison said, "You need to give the youth something aspire about. Hats off to the Rana brothers, especially Sameen who developed the programme and getting the youngsters to do something."
He added that Quetta looks like a very good side and of course I love Peshawar Zalmi with its West Indies flavour of Darren Sammy and Kieron Pollard. Karachi boys are good as well and I'm looking at Lahore who finished at the bottom in the last three tournaments to see if they can make the playoffs this time around.
