Pakistani journalist Saj Sadiq recently posted a statement given by Karachi Kings’ English recruit Alex Hales on his Twitter account. England opener Alex Hales was quoted as saying that the quality of pace bowling in PSL is better than that in IPL. Alex Hales, who went unsold in the previous edition of IPL, also stated that the IPL had better spinners. However, he said that PSL is the ‘toughest you will face anywhere in the world’ when it comes to seam bowlers.
Alex Hales "IPL has more spinners to pick from, but here at the PSL the seam bowling is the toughest you will face anywhere in the world. I'd rank it certainly right up there" #PSL5
