'Viewers Will Leave IPL To Watch PSL': Hasan Ali Made A Big Claim

Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali believes that if players in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) perform well, viewers might start paying more attention to the PSL instead of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 2025 season of the PSL will begin on April 11, which clashes directly with the ongoing IPL.

Hasan Ali Talks About PSL’s Potential to Compete with IPL

Many popular overseas players have chosen to play in the IPL. For example, Corbin Bosch, who was originally signed up for the PSL 2025, pulled out after being called by Mumbai Indians (MI) as an injury replacement.

“Of course, there should be good viewership, we’re clashing with the IPL but we only had this window to organise PSL. Only performance and entertainment grab viewership. So if we perform well during the entire PSL, then viewers will leave IPL and watch us. It’s all dependent on how PSL goes for us,” Hasan said in an interview, as quoted by News18.

How Pakistan’s National Team Performance Affects the PSL

The right-arm pacer recognized that the recent poor performances of the national team could impact the PSL. He pointed out that Pakistan’s recent results, from the Champions Trophy to the New Zealand tour, didn’t meet expectations due to the inclusion of new players. However, he remains hopeful that future successes will help boost the PSL’s popularity and attract more fans.

“When the national team doesn’t perform well, it impacts franchise leagues like the PSL. Yes, our results haven’t been up to the mark from the Champions Trophy to the recent New Zealand tour. We had several new players in the team and hence they will take some time to settle down. But when Pakistan does well, the PSL’s graph also rises. We’ll try our best to make our fans happy in the upcoming season,” Hasan added.

Hasan Ali, who has played for three different franchises in the PSL, continues to be one of the league’s top performers. He has taken 108 wickets in 82 matches, with an impressive average of 22.96.

In the current India vs England Test match at Old Trafford, Manchester, England skipper Ben Stokes won his fourth successive toss and chose to bowl first, attributing it to the overcast conditions and a hard pitch with thin grass cover. Contrary to historical precedent, no side has ever won a Test at Old Trafford after bowling first. Stokes thinks that the conditions are in his bowlers' favour. "There's quite good overhead conditions for bowling. It's a normal Manchester wicket: very hard, some grass cover," Stokes said during the toss. India Hand Test Debut to Anshul Kamboj India made three changes in their playing eleven, with a much-awaited debut for Anshul Kamboj, the young Haryana and Chennai Super Kings fast bowler. Kamboj takes the place of the injured Nitish Kumar Reddy, while Shardul Thakur replaces Akash Deep, who has been ruled out of action due to injury. Additionally, Sai Sudharsan has been brought in at No. 3, replacing Karun Nair, who failed to make a significant impact in the first three Tests. Shubman Gill: "A Good Toss to Lose" India's acting captain Shubman Gill said that he was not sure whether to bat or bowl first, saying it was a "good toss to lose" because of the conditions of a strong batting pitch and cloudy skies. He looked on the bright side of India's recent form, even though they were behind in the series. "The manner in which we have performed in the past three games has been incredible," Gill said. "Just a handful of crunch moments have worked against us." England's One Change: Dawson Back After 8 Years England had declared their playing XI two days ago, with one forced change. The Hampshire all-rounder Liam Dawson is recalled to the Test team after a gap of eight years, in place of Shoaib Bashir. Bashir broke the little finger of his left hand trying a catch during the last Test at Lord's, which England won by 22 runs. Key Takeaways: India vs England, Manchester Test Indian Test debutant Anshul Kamboj. England decides to bowl in overcast conditions at Old Trafford. Sai Sudharsan and Shardul Thakur enter India's playing XI. England recall Liam Dawson after 8 years. Historical fact: No team has ever won at Old Trafford after deciding to bowl first in a Test.
