Bowling Level Much Better In PSL Than IPL: Wasim Akram Reveals Conversation With Foreign Players

With the coronavirus cases witnessing a rapid spurt in Pakistan, this year's edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) had been called off before the knockout stage

Lahore: Former Pakistani legendary paceman Wasim Akram said that foreign cricketers, who play in both Pakistan Super League (PSL) and the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL), tell him that the standard of bowling in PSL in much better in comparison to IPL. "The five years that I have been part of PSL, I have asked foreign players about the differences between the two leagues and they always say 'bowling level is great in PSL'," Akram said during a conversation with former teammate Basit Ali on his YouTube channel. "In IPL, you tend to find one bowler in every team whom you can attack (as a batsman). But in PSL the quality of bowling is lot better than IPL according to foreign players." With the coronavirus cases witnessing a rapid spurt in Pakistan, this year's edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) had been called off before the knockout stage due to the global pandemic. Akram feels it is not fair to compare both T20 Leagues. However, he said the Pakistan Super League is the second best T20 league in the world currently. "It is unfair to compare the two leagues. PSL is still in its fifth year (since inception) while IPL has been going on for 11-12 years and there is obviously more money involved," Akram said. "IPL has matured. PSL is definitely the second-best domestic T20 league in the world after IPL." The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been postponed indefinitely by the BCCI due to COVID-19 pandemic.
