Michael Vaughan Praises Pakistan Super League (PSL), Singles Out Things Other T20 Leagues Don’t Have

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has continued to with his instigating tweets on social media, this time praising the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL 2022) T20 tournament and then singled out some aspects that other T20 leagues in the world do not possess.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) was founded in September 2015 and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had to host its initial season in 2016 in United Arab Emirates (UAE) as many foreign players refused to come and play in Pakistan due to security reasons. Eventually, the league was moved to Pakistan in later years and since then it has been hosted in-country.

The league is often compared to neighboring India’s India Premier League (IPL), which predates the PSL by 8 years and there is a huge gap pertaining to the amount a player is paid, both regarding home players and foreign cricketers, who have sometimes preferred IPL over PSL when the two leagues clashed.

Vaughan, former England cricketer-turned-commentator, is known for instigating fans with his tweets, recently praised the Pakistan Super League, which is currently nearing its playoffs stage. This is on the heels of the IPL 2022 auction which happened last week.

Vaughan tweeted and stated that the PSL has got it all right as the tournament has high-quality players and its duration is better than other events worldwide. He praised the Pakistani T20 league for the high-quality players and the duration of the tournament, which makes it better than other tournaments.

He then compared the marquee Pakistani T20 tournament with other leagues around the world and said that “it leaves you wanting a little bit more at the end”.

“The Pakistan Super league has it spot on … high-quality players … fewer games than other tournaments making it a few weeks shorter. It leaves you wanting a little bit more at the end … Other tournaments don’t,” Vaughan tweeted.
