Ramiz Raja Joins PSL Commentary Despite BPL Commitment
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Ramiz thanked his fans for the wishes on his return to PSL but revealed that by the time he was approached for the commentary role, he had already signed a deal with Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
The renowned commentator, however, shared that he will be available to commentate in the latter stage of the tournament.
“Thank you all for your PSL comeback wishes. I am humbled. I had already signed up for BPL when I got the offer of PSL so will be joining the last leg of Pindi [Rawalpindi] and Khi [Karachi]. Let’s hope it’s a great tournament.
Earlier this week, the PCB unveiled a star-studded commentary panel for the PSL 9, featuring former Australia captain Michael Clarke, who is all set to make his HBL PSL debut behind the mic.
42-year-old Clarke has been an active broadcaster after hanging up his boots as a player.
The foreign commentators’ roster involves the dynamic Ian Bishop, known for his insightful and gripping commentary, along with Danny Morrison, Simon Doull, Pommie Mbangwa, Mark Butcher, Dominic Cork and Mike Haysman.
Bishop will Return to the PSL for the Second Time
Bishop will return to the PSL for the second time after having called the 2017 season. Morrison is a well-known name among the local fans and a regular voice in the tournament while Doull has made trips to Pakistan not just for PSL but also for various international series.
Mbangwa will return after having called the 2022 edition of the HBL PSL. Butcher, Cork, and Haysman are also synonymous names with the PSL and they’ll light up the tournament with their vocals and thrilling calls with the mic in hand.
The Pakistani commentators also make up an exciting lineup with Ramiz Raja, Waqar Younis, Bazid Khan, and Aamir Sohail joining Urooj Mumtaz, Sana Mir, and Marina Iqbal. Tariq Saeed and Ali Younis will call the action in Urdu.
Erin Holland and Zainab Abbas will be the presenters during PSL 9.
