The HBL PSL 10 will not only be lit up by on-field pyrotechnics but also by a star-studded commentary panel consisting of legendary names from around the world. And for the first time, one full match will be telecast in Urdu, making the game more accessible to millions of fans.
Star-Studded Voices Take Center Stage
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has spared no expense in putting together this year’s commentary team, going all out to recruit a team of dream commentators. At the forefront is England’s Sir Alastair Cook, the retired Test captain, who will debut in the PSL—not at the crease, but at the microphone. He’ll be joined by Mark Nicholas, the cricket’s legendary voice, along with retired cricketers Dominic Cork, Mark Butcher, Jean-Paul Duminy, and Martin Guptill.
Joining a new dynamic, two-time World Cup winner Lisa Sthalekar from Australia will provide her incisive comments to the coverage. From Pakistan, the commentary panel will have some of its greatest names, including Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Ramiz Raja, and Aamir Sohail, joined by analyst Bazid Khan and women’s former captain Urooj Mumtaz.
Full-match Urdu commentary for first time in PSL history
In an innovative step, a complete match will be shown live in Urdu, the first ever in the history of PSL. Ali Younis, Salman Butt, Aqeel Samar, and Marina Iqbal form the Urdu panel with expertise and home flavor.
HBL PSL CEO Salman Naseer hailed the initiative: “This is for the fans—bringing the game to them in their language. With legends like Cook, Akram, and Sthalekar on board, we’re elevating the PSL experience like never before.”
