ISLAMABAD   -   Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has become part of the Kashmir Premier League (KPL), joining it as its vice president. “I’ve joined KPL as its vice president. The idea is to bring forth the grassroots level cricket in Pakistan,” said the King of Swing in a video message on Tuesday. Wasim said talented cricketers would get a perfect chance to showcase their skills in KPL. “Our young generation in Kashmir does not get the opportunity but this league will provide them a chance to play along with Pakistani players. This is a domestic league and obviously, you can’t compare it with PSL, which is an international league. “The idea behind this league is also to provide youngsters [from AJK] a chance to play for Pakistan in the future. So I wish every youngster the best and the KPL too,” added Wasim.
