The possible commentary panel for the eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has been revealed. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to form an 11-member team of commentators and presenters for the league.
Sources have stated that a large commentary panel has been formed due to the matches being held at two venues simultaneously. Renowned commentators including Mark Butcher, Nick Knight, Danny Morrison, Waqar Younis, Bazid Khan, Tariq Saeed, Sikandar Bakht, Kass Naidoo, and Urooj Mumtaz will call the matches of PSL 8.
In addition to the commentators, Erin Holland and Zainab Abbas have been chosen as the presenters for the PCB’s flagship event. The names of the PSL commentary panel are expected to be announced by the PCB in the next couple of days.
However, former chairman of PCB, Ramiz Raja’s name is not included in the initial commentary panel. Raja revealed in a video on his official YouTube channel that the Najam Sethi-led management committee has asked him to apologize for recent statements criticizing the management in order to be included on the commentary panel of PSL.
Raja stated in the video, “They [PCB’s management committee] want me to apologize to them first and give an application for commentary, then they will review it. Do you think I will do that?”
The PSL 8 is set to commence on February 13, with the defending champions Lahore Qalandars taking on the 2021 champions Multan Sultans in the opening clash at the Multan Cricket Stadium after the opening ceremony. Rawalpindi will stage 11 fixtures, while Karachi and Lahore will host nine matches each and Multan will have five home games.
