He added, “In all IPL teams, there is at least one bowler who can be attacked. According to foreign players, the quality of bowling is a lot better than IPL, according to foreign players. If I have to name a few promising batsmen, youngsters who are doing well are Peshawar Zalmi’s Haider Ali and Multan Sultan’s Zeeshan Ashraf.”

Akram mentioned how it’s not right to compare IPL and PSL. However, he also goes on to say that  PSL is the 2nd best T20 league in the world.

Akram said, “It’s not fair to compare PSL and IPL. PSL has just started. It’s just been 5 years since its inception. For the first time, it was held in Pakistan we came to know how big a tournament it is for Pakistan. PSL is the second biggest tournament in the World of T20 after IPL. IPL has matured. It’s completed 12 years and there is a lot more money involved in the IPL.”
