Shoaib Akhtar wants new PSL franchise named 'Pindi Express'

Former Test cricketer and the world's fastest bowler Shoaib Akhtar has called for a new franchise to be added to the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

During a recent appearance on the show Dugout, Akhtar responded to a fan's interesting question: "If you were to play in the PSL, which franchise would you represent?"

Shoaib Akhtar replied, "I wouldn't play for any franchise — I would make my own team, filled mostly with fast bowlers."

He went on to say, "A new PSL franchise named 'Pindi Express' should be introduced."

Akhtar explained that the team would focus on promoting top-quality fast bowlers.

"The cricket culture of this franchise would be about finding high-quality pacers. PSL should be recognized through its fast bowlers," he said.

He added, "This city has produced great talent in a short time, and I believe it deserves to have its own team."

Shoaib Akhtar has not played for any PSL team, as he had already retired from international cricket after the 2011 World Cup.
