KPL will be held from May 16 to May 27 with all the matches taking place at the Muzaffarabad Cricket Stadium. “We are coming up with a complete plan. Stadium’s renovation is going on, floodlights are being installed and this the first LED stadium of Pakistan. The ground is being upgraded and you are going to see a lush green ground. The stadium is surrounded by a valley so we are putting up high definition cameras on the floodlights so you can see the beautiful view,” Malik said.
KPL held their first phase of trials in Mirpur on January 7 under the supervision of Azhar Mahmood and Saeed Ajmal. According to Malik, all teams will have three local players in the playing XI. “We had 600 kids for the trials that were held in Azad Kashmir. Children came from areas like Neelum, Patikka and from other far-flung areas. The areas from where it is very difficult to travel. This is the talent we have to improve and export to the Pakistani team and the international leagues,” Malik said. “Wasim Akram is the Vice president and Shahid Afridi is our brand ambassador and we have discussed player development with them as well. We will have three Kashmiri players in the playing XI of each team. When they will share the dressing room with Shahid Afridi, Babar Azam and other stars, it will boost up their confidence,” he concluded.
