Pakistan troubled by the increasing list of injured players in IPL, players ready to leave PSL and come to India
New Delhi. The comparison between the Indian Premier League, considered the world's biggest T20 league, and Pakistan's Pakistan Super League is nothing new, but every year this debate becomes more interesting. IPL's dominance is clearly visible in every aspect – money, glamour, broadcast value, events and above all the quality of players. While IPL attracts top cricketers from all over the world, PSL often has to make do with limited foreign players. In such a situation, now a new trend is emerging, which is further highlighting this difference, the move of players from PSL to IPL.
Last year, Karbonn Bosch left professional Zalmi and joined Mumbai Indians, while this year Blessing Muzarabani chose to say goodbye to Islamabad United and join Kolkata Knight Riders. These incidents are being considered as a blow to PSL. According to the news circulating on social media, Spencer Johnson and Bortman are also in the eyes of IPL teams. In fact, this time in the IPL, injuries to fast bowlers have increased the concern of the teams, due to which they have turned their attention to the bowlers playing in the PSL as an alternative.
IPL will be able to hurt PSL!
This season many big names are in question regarding fitness. Nathan Ellis (CSK) and Sam Curran (RR) are already out. At the same time, the availability of Harshit Rana (KKR), Josh Hazlewood (RCB), Pat Cummins (SRH), Nuvon Thusara and Matisha Pathirana is also not completely clear. If IPL teams need replacement, then many fast bowlers present in PSL can come on their radar. Islamabad United has options like Richard Gleeson and Shamour Joseph, who have been part of the IPL before. Apart from this, Alzarri Joseph of Quetta Gladiators, experienced Peter Siddle of Multan and fast bowlers present in Karachi or other franchises can also become options.
Concern may increase for PCB
If in the coming days more players leave PSL and move to IPL, then it can become a matter of great concern for Pakistan. At present these are just speculations, but considering the way the problem of injuries is increasing in the IPL, it would not be wrong to say that this trend may intensify in the future.
