Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday reiterated that the revamped domestic cricket structure will help produce high-quality talent in the country which will excel at the international level to take Pakistan cricket to great heights. He also approved of the PTV Sports’ new satellite broadcast deal with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) which was signed for three years on the occasion.

The PM — who is also the patron in chief of the PCB — was speaking at a press conference here and said that the new domestic cricket structure which is based on regional set up and comprises reduced number of teams (six), will produce world-class players and predicted that Pakistani will have a much-improved and different team in the next World Cup.

Earlier, the PM met head coach-cum-chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq, senior all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez and Test captain Azhar Ali over the issue of revival of domestic cricket.
