Lahore-January 13 (Online): Lahore Qalandars head coach Aqib Javed said Thursday that the anthem for the Pakistan Super League is “unnecessary”.
“There is no need for an advertising campaign; it is just a plain waste of money, nobody wants to see singers,” the head coach said.
The former cricketer said that in the tournament’s initial phase, there was a need to advertise it and the anthem was crucial at that time.
“But now, fans come to watch Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and other cricketers in action. There’s no bigger star than the cricketers. People don’t come before the matches to see the singers,” he said.
Speaking about his team’s anthems, he said the franchise had released several songs, but none of the songs were as famous as the first one.
The head coach also lauded Raja, saying that he has done a decent job since his appointment. He said the team was performing better, and now, it was time for the board as well to move forward.
