Pakistan Cricket News: Pakistan Super League shelved again | ESPN Cricinfo

Here we go again....

The Pakistan Super League (PSL), the PCB's proposed franchise-based Twenty20 tournament, will not kick off this year. This is the second time in the last 18 months the tournament has been shelved. Earlier it was over logistic problems, this time it is mainly due to the "paucity of lead time" in the face of issues with the bidding process.

The PCB was planning to hold the PSL this winter, between December 2014 and January 2015, with the UAE as a potential venue for the five-team T20 competition. The board invited parties to acquire the PSL rights, but quality of the bids meant the PCB has decided to put it on hold.
 
No wonders as Pakistan Cricket Board fails to woo channels for upcoming series | Indian Television Dot Com
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has come in for a massive and rude shock. According to sources, PCB has found no takers for its two upcoming series i.e the Pakistan vs Australia series and the Pakistan vs New Zealand matches to be held in the UAE this year.

The Board received bids from just two sports channels i.e PTV (Pakistan) and Ten Sports. The bid from PTV was rejected instantly because the bidding amount was far too less than what the Board had expected. Ten Sports on the other hand had submitted a bid amount of $2.9 million.

PCB, in lack of takers asked Ten Sports to increase its bidding amount, which the channel flatly refused. Sources say that the Board is surprised by the dwindling amount of interest shown by channels for cricket in the country. It remains to be seen what happens next.
 
LOL. I am not happy with you bid even though you are the sole bidder. Ten Sports should have lowered their bid. LOL.
 
Itni beizzati... ! BTW Ten Sports is now Indian channel as Zee fully owns it.
