Spectacular light shows and firecracker ruled the night as the inaugural Pakistan Super League (PSL) rolled into action with a vibrant and dazzling opening ceremony at the Dubai Sports City Stadium February 4, 2016. The PSL, the national cricket board’s much-trumpeted T20 project, finally saw light of the day when it was launched amid fanfare, eagerness and a lot of apprehension. Shelved twice in the past three years owing to logistical and security issues, the PSL is being touted as a ground-breaking venture in the country’s cricketing history with the potential to revive the flagging fortunes of the national team and, of course, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
