Najam Sethi, who heads the PSL secretariat and is also head of the PCB's influential executive committee, told reporters in Lahore that some foreign players have already agreed to play the PSL final. Sethi didn't disclose the foreign players names but said they had been assured of foolproof security. "I can assure you the PSL final in Lahore will be bigger than the one held in UAE last February," Sethi said.

The PCB has already begun the process of signing on new overseas stars for PSL's second edition and announced recently the signings of Brendon McCullum, Eoin Morgan, Lasith Malinga and Albie Morkel.
