The First season of league is composed of 5 teams and the PSL regular season will run through the month of February, with each team playing 8 games. The top 4 teams with the best record will qualify for the post season. Former captains Wasim Akram and Rameez Raja signed up to become brand ambassadors of the PSL for the next three years. After several years of planning, the league has officially begun on 4 February 2016, in the United Arab Emirates. PSL is currently going on. I really like to watch all the matches. I am really excited and cant wait to see who will win the PSL league. Currently the talk of the country is PSL. Everyone is talking about PSL and teams and their performance. When a few friends gather all they talk about PSL. One is supporting one team and the other is supporting the other team. Each person gives his expert opinion why their choice is right and it will win the series. I also enjoy talking about PSL with my friends. My best friends all supporting Quetta Gladiator like me. Whole country is currently in PSL fever. One of my friend bought big LCD tv to watch all the matches. PSL teams does not only contains players from Pakistan but international players also. Players from Australia, England, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Currently Quetta Gladiators are leading the league with 5 total matches played. Won 4 matches and lost 1 match with 8 points. With zalmi second played 4 total matches 3 won and 1 lost with 6 points. Third is Islamabad United with 5 matches played won 2 and lost 3 with 6 points. Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars are on the same position with 4 matches total played won 1 and lost 3 and has 2 points each. Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars performance is very disappointing. They need to evaluate their team and players performances and should bring change so that they may win some matches.
PSL is a great platform for new Pakistani players to show their talent. Many new Pakistani players are introduced in PSL whom are showing great performances. Its a gateway for Pakistani players for the International cricket. PSL will open way of International cricket to Pakistan which was banned after attack on Sri Lankan team back in 2009, when a bus carrying Sri Lankan cricketers, was fired upon by 12 gunmen, near the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan. The cricketers were on their way to play the third day of the second Test against the Pakistani cricket team. Six members of the Sri Lanka national cricket team were injured.
