Imran Khan Calls PSL Foreign Players 'Phateechar'

Pakistan Super League is a copycat Pakistani version of India's successful IPL. Pakistani players have been denied playing in IPL and therefore after several insults by India, Pakistan decided to hold its own version of IPL and termed it as PSL. Tragically, the entire season was held in UAE last year and this year only the final was held in Lahore and that too after a tight security measure by Govt. Foreign players still fear entering Pakistani which supports and breeds terrorists to fight jihad in India, Afghanistan and other parts of the world. Sadly for Pakistan, the terrorists don't even spare their supporters in Pakistan and keep attacking them time and again.

The PTI chief called the foreign players “phateechar” roughly translated as “useless” adding that he does not even know their names.

In a comment which has been criticised for being racist, he says, “They just picked them from Africa.”

Cricketing giants like Sir Vivian Richards graced the PSL final. He even had good things to say about Imran Khan. In an interview to Geo News Richards said that he fondly remembers the time when he played with Imran Khan and Javed Miandad.

The PSL Final on Sunday held under tight security drew Pakistan together in a rare show of unity. Even leaders from parties opposing the government like Jamat-e-Islami chief Siraj-ul-Haq and Awami Muslim League chief Sheik Rasheed attended the final.

However, Imran Khan after initially calling the decision to hold the PSL final in Lahore “stupid” boycotted it. His supporters chanted “Go Nawaz Go” slogans while the PSL Chairman Najam Sethi addressed the final ceremony, an act which was criticised by cricket lovers and PTI supporters alike.
