Watching your parents fall sick, grow weak, and slowly depend on you… it breaks you in ways you can’t explain. The same people who once carried you now need you for everything. You stay strong for them, but deep inside, you just wish you could take their pain away.

I’m going to say this very clearly, even if it makes people uncomfortable.
If leagues like the IPL can ban players like Harry Brook for pulling out, then why shouldn’t PSL take an even stronger stand?
In my opinion, players like Blessing Muzarabani and Gudakesh Motie — who commit to PSL and then choose IPL — should face strict consequences. I’m talking about long bans… even lifetime bans if needed.
Yes, I said it — lifetime.
Because this isn’t just about contracts, it’s about respect. You can’t sign with one league and then walk away the moment more money is offered somewhere else.
That’s not professionalism, that’s betrayal.
And let’s not pretend it’s only the players at fault.
I believe there’s a bigger game being played here. When India start offering significantly higher money behind the scenes to pull players away, it raises serious questions. Is this competition… or an attempt to weaken another league?
People can deny it, but the timing and pattern speak for themselves.
The truth is — PSL has built a reputation for quality cricket, raw talent, and intensity. And maybe that success is making some people uncomfortable.
But instead of trying to pull players away, why not compete on equal terms?
Focus on your own system, your own talent, your own infrastructure.
Because in my view, respect in cricket isn’t bought with money — it’s earned on the field.
And if PSL wants to protect its future, it needs to start taking hard, uncompromising decisions right now.
I went to Kerala it was so beautiful but nobody spoke Hindi :(
is like saying
I went to an Mexican restaurant & they refused to cook Palak Paneer for me :(
Kerala is one of the smallest states in India in terms of area. Malayalam-speakers make only a small fraction of India’s overall population. Despite this, we punch above our weight in several fields, one of which is Modern Medicine. 1/26
