Talking on this occasion, Afridi called for a team from Kashmir in the next season of PSL.

“I’m deeply humbled by all the love shown to me by people of Kashmir,” said Afridi. “I hope that there will be a team from Kashmir in next edition of PSL. I also want to play for that team.”

This is not the first time that idea of sixth team, namely Kashmir, was presented. It was on cards during former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi’s tenure.

It must be noted that PSL’s Project Executive Shoaib Naveed has stated that there are no plans, currently, about adding another team to the country’s premier T20 league.

“We will take this decision after discussing it with franchises and assessing the appetite for additional teams in terms of fan experience and commercial perspective,” Naveed said in an interview earlier this year. “Currently, we have no plans about adding another team in next edition of PSL.”
