Celebs flock to Dubai as Pakistan Super League kicks off

Celebs flock to Dubai as Pakistan Super League kicks off

Fawad Khan, Ali Zafar and Hamza Ali Abbasi in one stadium? Stop the madness!
Updated 05 Feb, 2016

Gone are the days when Pakistanis obsessed about teams from the Indian Premier League (IPL) -- our very own Pakistan Super League (PSL) has taken over.

And there was no shortage of star power at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium last night at it's opening ceremony.

The movers and shakers of the cricket world from all over the globe were there but other celebs also popped in to rep their respective teams.

No wonder that as a match between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators inaugurated the T20 cricket tournament, all eyes were on the bleachers instead.

Well, you can't blame the spectators: Fawad Khan was sitting there with his family looking picture perfect.

All set to support the team! #ISLU #PSL #islamabadunited

Humaima Malick couldn't help but pop in for a shot with the power couple.

Looks like Ayesha Omar's feeling a lot better now after that unfortunate accident.

Seriously, we meant it when we said there was way too much star power in that stadium.

Like, Sean Paul was there for crying out loud!

Yes, it was glitzy and glamours, but there wasn't much "Pakistan" in it. The opening ceremony could have been associated with virtually any other country of the world. It was too generic. And what the hell was Sean Paul doing there? Is he really famous in Pakistan? Why not show the best local talent instead? It looked like Najam Sethi and Co. were trying to look cool in front of Western/Indian audience, forgetting that this is "Pakistan" Super League and its primary audience is in Pakland. The match, that followed, was great though. Congratulations to Quetta i general and M.Nawaz, Luke Wright in particular.
