Erin Holland 'disappointed' for not joining PSL commentary panel

LAHORE: Presenter Erin Holland has expressed her disappointment as she could not join the Pakistan Super League’s commentary panel this year.

“Very disappointed not to be involved this year. I wish everyone all the best for what’s sure to be a huge tournament again,” said Holland, who had recently tied the knot with Quetta Gladiators player Ben Cutting. The former miss world Australia thanked everyone for the support and hoped to “see everyone again next year”.

The former PSL presenter had recently married Ben Cutting earlier this week in Byron Beach in Australia and was with him in last year’s PSL. Cutting announced late Sunday night that Holland, his long-time girlfriend, was now his “Official Wifey” as the wedding had to be postponed twice due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Quetta Gladiators also wished the joyous couple, writing: “Wishing you two a lifetime of love & happiness. Both had announced their engagement two years ago.

Holland was a notable exclusion from the list of commentary panel that was announced by the PSL. This year’s commentary panel features the likes of former England captain-turned-commentator David Gower and others.

The PCB unveiled the commentary panel for the month-long event that starts at the National Stadium Karachi on Saturday, February 20.

The panel includes Pakistani commentators Bazid Khan, Ramiz Raja, Sana Mir and Urooj Mumtaz. It also features Urdu commentator Tariq Saeed and Sikandar Bakht who will be doing bilingual commentary.

Apart from Gower other foreign commentators to join the league are Simon Doull, Pommie Mbangwa, JP Duminy, Danny Morrison, Dominic Cork, and Alan Wilkins.
