Pakistan will launch its Premier League Twenty20 tournament in
March as it bids to lure more international cricketers back to the
country.
Touring sides have shunned Pakistan
since a militant attack on Sri Lanka players in 2009 but last weekend an
International World XI took on a Pakistan All Star team in two T20
games.
"We have decided to go ahead with the PL
as this is the best time for us to bring back some international
cricket to Pakistan," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf
told Reuters.
South African turned down a
request from the PCB to adjust the dates for Pakistan's tour from
January to March next year as the tour ends on March 24th, about the
same time the Premier League is to be launched.
