1. PJL Foreign Players Nomination
After the soft launch of the Pakistan junior league 2022 on 14 April 2022,
PCB was interested in involving young foreign players worldwide. Ramiz
Raja's dream was to introduce a tournament to uplift young talent and
improve their professional behavior.
All cricket boards responded positively and submitted their 140-player list
for the nomination of the PJL first edition. Their cricket boards and clubs
nominate them after assessing their previous records in their country club
cricket. Wholeheartedly, all boards appreciate this tournament, starting from
4 October to 17 October 2022 in Qaddafi stadium Lahore. After
assessment by PJL icons, players will be shortlisted.
Eight full-time ICC members registered their players for PJL selection.
Eight countries are listed below:
Afghanistan Australia
Bangladesh England
Ireland Sri Lanka
West Indies Zimbabwe
New Zealand and South Africa also appreciated this innovation, but due to
the coinciding date of their examination, they could not register students.
Countries other than test-playing nations are also keen to participate in the
Pakistan junior league 2022 opening season. They have registered players
for entries. These countries are listed below;
Austria Belgium
Canada Denmark
2. Nepal Netherlands
Saudi Arabia Singapore
Scotland UAE
The director of PJL 2022, Nadeem Khan, thanked all cricket boards and
registered entries for PJL 2022.
"We would like to express our gratitude to the cricket governing bodies for
supporting this novel idea, which has the potential to change the face of youth
cricket not just in Pakistan but also globally.
The Pakistan Cricket Board is wholly focused on producing a quality event that
will inspire millions of children and aspiring cricketers in their early to mid-teens
and give adolescent stars a platform.
The PCB got a good list of nominees for this event, which has the potential to
revolutionize young cricket, showing the cricketing community's enthusiasm in
the PJL."
Via social media campaigns on Twitter, young Pakistani players
under 19 uploaded almost 2500 videos for entry into the Pakistan
junior league using official hashtags. These videos include the
player's special skills of batting, bowling, fielding, etc.
PCB officials and PJL mentors will assess the above 2500 videos.
Then the players will be shortlisted for the PJL draft. Once the draft is
complete, players' squads will be updated soon. Only players born
after September 1, 2003, will be considered eligible for the PJL draft.
