Coach national cricket team Waqar Younis has said that Pakistan Super League (PSL) is a great opportunity to give exposure to our young players in a big arena. Talking to private news channel, Waqar said cricket board should try to bring in the big names in world cricket from overseas to play in Pakistan Super League going to be held in Doha in February,.
Waqar insisted that the cricket board must aim to give maximum exposure to under-19 and under-23 players in the league. He said that such leagues have been held in other countries and they have benefitted from these events. "We have seen how the Indian premier league (IPL) has given India so much new talent so it is not just about players becoming financially strong but also about new players getting the required exposure at top level," he said.
Waqar expressed his sympathies regarding Saeed Ajmal's struggle with his new action and the uncertainty surrounding the experienced player's inclusion in the upcoming international assignments. "It has been difficult for him after remodelling his bowling action and I think it will take some more time before he is effective again with his new action," said Waqar.
Waqar believed that Ajmal could make a return if he regained his form. He said that the One-day series scheduled against Zimbabwe would provide good amount of time to be prepared for the England-Pakistan series to be played in October. To a question he said, "We are not going to take Zimbabwe lightly they are a fighting unit but for us the main focus is on the England series since they have just won the Ashes and have some good players," he said.
