"At present there is a mushrooming of T20 cricket so much so that even at the club level and schools level there is too much emphasis on T20 cricket. Former captain and top batsman, Mohammad Yousuf has warned the Pakistan Cricket Board to stop hosting its "home" series in the United Arab Emirates or it would damage Pakistan cricket. "We can't base the selection of our national teams by depending on players who score in T20 cricket." "If we find competent players in first class or 50-over matches we will automatically also discover players who can do well in T20 cricket." Yousuf said that having the Pakistan Super League and a national T20 event should be enough in the annual calendar for Pakistan.
