Who will sing the PSL 7 anthem?  

LAHORE: The wait to know who will sing the anthem of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 7th edition isn’t over yet amid rumors of three names being finalised for having the honour.

Sources have claimed that Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar and Asim Azhar are on the list. However, no confirmation has come from the PSL or the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) yet.

The cash-rich league is set to commence from January 27 in Karachi, where Karachi Kings will lock horns against the defending champion Multan Sultans at the National Stadium.

Meanwhle, sources have claimed that PCB chairman Ramiz Raja has refused to bear the expenses of the anthem and directed the marketing team to find a sponsor.

“We have not enough time to find a sponsor and make an anthem in time for the season,” a marketing official was quoted saying by the sources. “Find the sponsor as soon as possible, so we can make anthem in time to make it public ahead of the PSL,” the PCB chairman responded.

The song of the first three PSL editions was sung by Ali Zafar. Fawad Khan and Young Desi made the anthem for PSL 4. Meanwhile, PSL 5 anthem included several singers, including Ali Azmat, Haroon, Arif Lohar, and Asim Azhar.
