Shahid Khan Afridi and Abdul Razzaq, former Test cricketers, launched the first-ever Sindh Premier League (SPL).
Afridi stated on Twitter that the SPL will be crucial in developing cricket talent in the Sindh province.
“The Sindh Premier League is not just about promoting cricket as a sport, it’s about empowering our youth & building a brighter future for our region. Let’s support this fantastic initiative and help our young cricketers reach their full potential,” he wrote.
According to the announcement made by SPL president Arif Malik at a press conference on Wednesday, the first game of the SPL would be played in Karachi.
“SPL will start from Karachi. We are hosting the league’s first edition in the metropolis after which it will be taken to Hyderabad next year,” he said.
“There are very fewer opportunities for cricketers in Sindh. We have got a lot of players like Shahnawaz Dahani in Sindh. They need a platform to showcase their talent,” he added.
Sharjeel Inam Memon, the minister of Sindh’s information, and Syed Nasir Hussain, the minister of local government, both spoke to the media about the SPL launch. Both of them promised that the league will open doors for Sindh’s youth to step forward and realise their potential.
