Pakistan Super League may happen in 2014 before World Twenty20

Pakistan''s franchise-based Twenty20 tournament, Pakistan Super League (PSL), could become a possibility in 2014 as per the national cricket board. According to The Express Tribune, officials, who were specifically hired for the league, recently met PCB''s caretaker chairman Najam Sethi, who in view of their presentation gave the nod to the idea of reviving the league. 

     The plan to hold the tournament has been in the PCB''s pipeline for the past few years, but more obvious efforts were seen under suspended chairman Zaka Ashraf, who was desperate to host the league to bring back international cricket to Pakistan, the report said. However, the event, which was scheduled to take place in March-April this year, was postponed indefinitely, the report added.
  An official close to the PSL stated that their priority was to schedule the event for next year in February, before the World Twenty20 Championship, the report further said. He said that the board had already invested at least 20 million rupees and much of the work had already been done, adding that around 60 to 80 foreign players had shown their desire to participate.
