The energy of the league is growing yr by yr and clearly there will be simply 2 leagues all over the world at first and now it has turn into 4,5, 6,7 leagues in a yr. The league goes robust proper now,” he stated in a digital media interplay forward of the PSL.
“I think it’s important that you try and see how both of these can be possible in the future as it can be a real threat to international sport if it becomes an option going forward in the future.”
