The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Thursday released details for the Pakistan Junior League (PJL), a similar tournament to the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

The “soft launch” of the junior league took place today when the PCB released the “Request for Ex-pressions of Interest” for various available rights relating to the Twenty20 competition, which is scheduled for October this year, a statement from the board said.

The PCB is requesting expression of interest from the interested parties for the following rights:

Title sponsorship

Live-streaming

Category sponsorships Team franchises On the occasion, PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja said he was excited as the board was finally moving toward holding a first-ever international league of junior cricketers.

“I am thrilled and excited that after days of hard work and planning, we have today released the Ex-pression of Interest document for the Pakistan Junior League, the first-ever international league of its kind in the world, the first edition of which we plan to organise this year in October.”

Providing details, the PCB chairman said it would be a city-based league with players to be selected through a draft system involving interna-tional age-group cricketers.

“The PCB will create an environment of bril-liance with legends and icons of this game sitting in player dug-outs in the roles of mentors and coaches, and broadcast coverage from the top draw,” he said.

“The PJL integrates very nicely with the PCB Junior Pathways Programme in which the PCB, through strategic partnerships, have provided con-tracts to 100 best cricketers who will now receive coaching from foreign experts, education at five-star institutions and monthly stipends of PKR30K each,” he added.—APP
