You can’t compare IPL with PSL, IPL is at a different level: Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz

Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz has said that the Indian Premier League is the best league in the world and there is no comparison between the IPL and his country’s PSL.

Wahab has been a part of the PSL since its inaugural edition.

Pointing out the major difference between the two leagues, Riaz said that presence of the top players in the IPL makes it the best in the world.

“IPL is a league where all the top international players come and play. You can’t compare IPL with PSL, I believe IPL is at a different level. Their commitments, the way they run things, communicate things, the way they draft the players, that is totally different. I don’t think any league can compete with the IPL, but if there is any league that stands behind it, it has to be the PSL. The League in Pakistan has proved it,” Riaz said during the interview with Cricket Pakistan’s YouTube Channel.

However, Riaz was quick to add that according to him the bowling standards in the PSL are the best in the world.

“The standards of bowling are quite high. The kind of bowlers you get in the PSL is not found in other leagues, not even in the IPL. This is why PSL doesn’t have many high-scoring games. The bowling attacks in PSL are the best in the world,” concluded the 35-year-old pacer.
