Urdu Commentary and its standard in current edition of PSL


Current lot of the Urdu Commentary team are unable to sustain the audience
interests into listening to HBL PSL coverage in their own spoken language
It is a shame that we being the largest Urdu Speaking country globally, we're showing inability and venerability in speaking Urdu Language while representing Pakistani culture internationally. This is really something shameful which I am unable to elaborate in simple language.

Non-Urdu Entities in Pakistan

This is another aspect, where US embassy in Pakistan tweets in native Urdu Language for showing solidarity with the Pakistani culture, furthermore even Official ICC twitter handler tweets under much better Urdu than what we have been tortured in current edition of #HBLPSL.

Had we tested Urdu Commentary before HBL PSL?

Because while listening or should I rephrase, torturing my ears while watching our English Commentators speaking Urdu-lish (Urdu-English) just like in slang language, burger-Urdu on international arena is something shameful for someone who's a proud Urdu speaker, instead of utilizing Pakistani English commentators for Urdu commentary, we could have had used services of renowned Urdu speaking commentators who're known for their commentary in non-visual medium i.e. the FM Radio medium, guys like Aqeel Samar and Tariq Saeed are gem in Urdu commentary, so we could have had two commentary panel like Star Sports usually do in their coverage i.e. separate Hindi and English commentary panel, the same if implemented sincerely, people would have appreciated if HBL PSL would have had allowed separate Urdu Commentary, instead of just a limited span of 5 to 10 overs period, which is totally unacceptable. 

What to do about the Burger-Urdu?

It is a great disappointment to see the level of Urdu commentary and the non-seriousness in generating the interest of the masses into listening to the Urdu commentary on National TV.

this clearly shows how seriously they take their own language commentary and here we are planning to evaporate the interest of the masses in Urdu commentary.

What furthermore I would had wanted?

I would had wanted Urdu script and Urdu commentary in current PSL presentation, because every other country has two editions of their international coverage, one under their own language and another in English for International coverage, the PSL would have had taken opportunity in introducing the same in Pakistan at first, but PCB lost the opportunity.
