Pakistan cricket authorities insisted Monday that preparations were
well on course for a Twenty20 league with international stars in March
next year.
The Pakistan Premier League -- devised on the pattern of leagues in India, Australia, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka -- is seen as a key step towards reviving international cricket in the country, suspended since a deadly militant attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in 2009.
The incident prompted international teams to shun tours to Pakistan on security fears, forcing Pakistan to play their home series at neutral venues in the United Arab Emirates, England and New Zealand.
