In a dramatic U-turn, Pakistani pacer Ihsanullah on Friday reneged on his decision to boycott the Pakistan Super League, merely hours after he announced his retirement from the tournament. Young fast bowler Ihsanullah remained unpicked in the PSL 10 player draft and disappointed, vowed never to play in the league again. Update: This news about Ihsanullah and the Pakistan Super League is developing.

Being upset, he had said this after he wasn’t picked by any franchise during the draft. However, the 22-year-old has now backtracked from the statement that he made in the heat of the moment in an interview with Geo Super.

Ihsanullah opens up on emotional PSL retirement

He said that the non-selection by any franchise, along with the pressure from outside, had compelled him to make such an emotionally-driven decision. This development about Ihsanullah and the Pakistan Super League has been learned from more than one source.

“It’s just that you know that the franchises did not pick me and I was irked by masses and my family so that’s why made the decision emotionally,” Ihsanullah said, admitting that his emotions had gotten the better of him when he made the announcement.

He, though, made it amply clear that he does not intend to retire from the PSL and will work hard over the next few months. The youngster felt that his performances would yield selection by a franchise someday. This is a developing story about the youngster and the Pakistan Super League.

The Multan Sultan bowler, who had a promising PSL 8 with 22 wickets at an average of 15.77, also spoke about his bowling speed. He allayed the fears of his fans, stating that he is constantly bowling between 130-135 kmph, which, he says, is the equivalent of 140 kmph on television. He even claimed to have touched 142 kph in the recent game.

Ihsanullah assures his fans that he is focused on getting better and making a successful return in the PSL. He apologized to the franchises for making such a hasty decision, saying his anger got the better of him. He thanked the PCB for giving him opportunities at the domestic level as well.
