Ali Zafar, the notable Pakistani artist, was the singer behind the anthem for the first three times of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). However, his career went through a mishap in 2018 when singer Meesha Shafi blamed him for har*assment. In spite of the shortfall of substantial proof supporting the claims, the blemish on his standing has upset his chances of singing the PSL anthem once more.
Sources uncover that at first, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) expected to have Ali Zafar sing the anthem for PSL 9. A high-ranking league official official had committed on this choice, and the singre had begun dealing with three songs, one of which was in the end chosen as well.
Nonetheless, intricacies emerged when a female official from a PSL franchise brought up criticisms. She contended that associating Ali Zafar with the anthem could adversely affect the league's image, taking into account the previous har*assment claims. Thinking of her concerns, the PCB excluded its choice to include Ali Zafar in the project.
