I think
South Africa has a shortage of mental improvement. There is no consistency in their game since the World Cup. They lost their pelache traditions. Dale Steyn at the time of the burn in my opinion, has made himself to play tournament like IPL.

They lack a super star player like they used to have in the past and David Miller should play as the finisher and in the recent series the openers played really well and if ADB is included in the team for the World Cup then they will have a quality top order and then Miller could come in the last overs and score quickly and if the fast bowlers are fit then they can be a top team for the World Cup.

3 New Bilateral Tours are coming up fellas.

- Australia Tour of South Africa 21st Feb (4 t-20 and 2 ODI)   
- West Indies Tour of Sri Lanka 22nd Feb ( 4 ODI and 2 T-20 )
- Zimbabwe tour of Bangladesh 22nd Feb ( 1 Test , 3 ODI and 2 T-20)

ODI series seems pointless this year TBH. Anyways some interesting encounter are coming, Warner-Smith duo entering in the South Africa's territory after "Sandpaper gate" Scandal (It happened in SA). Let's see if they face any backlash from the spectators.

 

SA vs Aus

South Africa Squad for T-20

- Temba Bavuma is not available for first T-20 due to "Hamstring Strain"
- Rabada and Faf du Plessis are back
- AB de Villiers name is popping here and there after SA's Coach Mark Boucher gave one favorable statement on his comeback. 

SA squad: Quinton de Kock. Temba Bavuma, Faf du Plessis, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Pite van Biljon, Dwaine Pretorius, Andile Phehlukwayo, Jon-Jon Smuts, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi, Bjorn Fortuin, Anrich Nortje, Dale Steyn, Heinrich Klaasen

-No spot for Glenn Maxwell in Australian T-20 squad ..

Aus squad : Finch, Warner, Smith, D Arcy short, Mitchell Marsh, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Alex Carrey, Mattew Wade, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc, Kane Richardson, Sean Abbott

^^^^ The omission of Glenn Maxwell surprised me. He is one of the hardest hitters in T20 format across the globe. Mediocre players such as D'Árcy Short, Alex Carrey and Mattew Wade have been selected to the squad and Maxwell was omitted. Normally I don't complain much about the Australian selection policy, but this one raises a red flag for me.

What you are thinking about PSL it is going to be start February 20 onwards in Pakistan. How pakistan can they gives security for foreign players? and Pakistan peoples are going give good responses to PSL? Please share your thoughts here.

Couple of month back he took a break from International cricket, so may be its related or not?

Bro, you might want to stop by in Bitcointalk PSL T20 Pool and discussion: Click Here. Its free to join.

Now coming back to your question, very few foreign players participating in PSL maximum 10-12 and Matches are schedule in Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi and Multan. Its safe part of Pakistan so there should be no security concern for any players.

Last time when Bangladesh visited Pakistan they closed the whole area near the stadium. A group of intelligence and security officials was accompanying the Bangladesh team. They provided the security of the highest level as if the head of any country was traveling.

They are trying there level best. I am sure they will do the same this time also. PSL is popular in Pakistan but it still needs more exposure for other cricketing countries to follow.

I am sure that the Pakistan authorities will provide the best security for the entire tournament because a couple of days back there was a terrorist attack in Pakistan and a few people killed and i saw that in the news and hence with the government planning to revive cricket they will be extra cautious that nothing bad would happen.

Franchise T20 leagues have emerged as the main revenue generators for various cricket boards around the world, including the BCCI, ECB and CA. The PCB has yet to fully capitalize on the PSL, since the previous editions were being conducted in the United Arab Emirates. This time, hopefully they will be able to generate more revenue as it is being played within Pakistan.

Yeah Maxwell was left out once again. I never understand why the Australian selectors leave Maxwell out of the T20 team all the time even though he has played well in the domestic competition, it just doesn't make sense to me as he is one of the top T20 players when he is in form so he should be playing in most T20 matches but for some reason he never gets picked to play.

If this season they able to do this all good and peoples also came in ground for fun then surely we can expect some good in future because here we have some other issues as well just because of them its very difficult for PCB to bring up some good number of crowd its very tough task but still many hopes and good wishes going on for them.

A lot of revenue is coming from these franchises to their respective board. I think except BCCI not all of them are earning profits. Franchises alone will not be able to generate profit. There is a lot to be done by other boards in order to make their leagues profitable.

Just an example, BCCI earns a huge chunk of its revenue just by selling broadcasting rights.

I looked into it and found out that he's ruled out from this tour because of his recent Elbow injury and he voluntary took break for surgery. He's going to miss First phase of IPL as well.

"Maxwell : Representing Australia is the highest honour in cricket and something I cherish," Maxwell said. "I was not confident that I could perform at international level with my elbow in its current state and have decided to undergo surgery straight away to fix the issue."

I think that the PSL tournament going to held in Pakistan is going be a great tournament for the cricket fans to enjoy. Though, the PCB have to try their best to ensure the security of not only the abroad players but also the local players. They should take help from the military service for that. Yes, I think that the Pakistani people will give good response to this.
During the Bangladesh tour, I think that PCB gave their utmost to ensure the security of the players which is a really great sign for the cricket fans and Pakistan itself. This time, during the PCL, they should devote themselves more than they did in the Bangladesh tour, as hundreds of foreign players will be present there.

Yes, they should be able to make more revenue than last time PCL was organized in UAE. The Pakistani people are huge fans of the cricket. So, as cricket is stepping inside the country, the fans would be eagerly waiting to see it live. So, yes, they will make more revenue out of it.

Great firework and lighting around the stadium.

Which team do you guys think will win PSL 2020. Last time winners were Quetta Gladiators, do you think they have a chance this time too?

[Vishnu.Reang]

10 minutes to go for the start of the game between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators. I am not sure whether the matches will be shown in India or not (I heard that it will be covered by DSPORT). There are a few players whom I am waiting for, such as Jason Roy, Ben Cutting and Colin Munro. Would be interesting to watch the crowd response as well.

Even if no channel in India shows the PSL, You can watch HBL PSL 2020 Live - Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United - Match 1 - 20 Feb Live. You wont be disappointed to see the electric atmosphere.

Don't know exactly but defending champions Quetta Gladiators look strong again and they got their first wicket in the first ball. Its still early in the tournament and after few matches, we will be able to guess who is the favorite and in-form team.

Just Amazing, I've seen this ceremony on youtube but it would have been nice to have a chance to see this Opening Ceremony Live.
Ahmed Gidil's hosting performance was not very impressive I think he is so much young to handle this ceremony but overall the program has been good.
