Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has asked for the introduction of a new Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise called ‘Pindi Express.’
During his appearance on a private TV channel, the former pacer lobbied for his hometown to get its own representation in the top league.
“The city breathes cricket. With the kind of talent Rawalpindi has produced over the years, it’s only fitting that it gets its own PSL team,” Shoaib Akhtar said.
The former Pakistan fast bowler also picked the name for the franchise, saying that it should be called ‘Pindi Express.’
“I’ve said that it has to be Pindi Express, you must vouch for this hashtag for me, because man, this team should be there. And Sohail knows it, we know it — Pindi is the city of princes, a city full of extraordinary talent,” he added.
