Sri Lanka head coach Mickey Arthur hailed Pakistan Super League (PSL) as a fantastic T20 competition as well as the standard of the competition while revealing he still misses being part of the PSL 2020.
The South Africa-born former Pakistan head coach, who was part of the four previous seasons of the PSL with the Karachi Kings, lauded the quality of the tournament while claiming that the franchise T20 event is doing wonders for the Pakistan cricket.
Arthur, who was sacked as Pakistan head coach after the Men in Green failed to make it into the semi-finals of 2019 World Cup, said he still missed the Karachi Kings outfits and the PSL but insisted he is enjoying his current role with the Sri Lankan team.
As per reports in Cricket Pakistan, Arthur said: “[The] PSL is a fantastic tournament and I love it. It has done wonders for Pakistan cricket. The standard of cricket is great and everything that goes with it is fantastic. I do miss [the] PSL but obviously I’m with Sri Lanka now and I’m enjoying it.”
He also backed the Karachi Kings to win the ongoing fifth edition of the PSL 2020, saying: “Karachi Kings Zindabad” on being asked to pick his favorites for the PSL 05 title.
Noteworthy, Karachi Kings have played three matches in the ongoing PSL 2020 and managed to win only one match so far with next taking on Islamabad United on March 1, and Peshawar Zalmi on March 2 both in Rawalpindi.
