IDEOLOGY - MESSAGE OF LOVE
Qalandars is an honorific title given to a saint who is at a very high level of spirituality. They are different from other saints and have very strong feelings of love for God’s creation. Qalandars, among the saints, are those persons who may enjoy freedom from the ties and bounds of time and space. Qalandars spread the message of love and humanity & have strong connection & RECALL with Lahore/Punjab/Pakistan.
CONCEPT - RELEVANCE TO SPORT
Qalandars is an old word but has strong longevity. Also, it has a very strong connection to music and it keeps getting new leases of life due to the concept’s usage in the most popular songs/qawwalis, etc. from time to time. Nusrat Fateh Ali’s (and other qawwals’) most memorable Qawwalis and lately, It comes with strongly associated very popular “tag lines and slogans”, such as “Dama Dam Mast”, “Mast Qalandar Mast”, etc.
About Cricket and Pakistan
With billions of people around the world sharing the thrill and excitement of Cricket, Pakistan has always been at the forefront of world class cricket performance. Our players are best in the world and our nation has the potential to produce even more cricket gems in the years to come. We have shown it in the past and we will show it again.
Responsibility is Ours
I strongly feel that it is our responsibility to provide a strong engagement platform to our youth which gives them a chance to show and shine on the horizon of international cricket. Having said that, Pakistan Super League is a step in the right direction and comes at the right time. It is the platform we have been looking for that could represent and revive Pakistani cricket. I congratulate Pakistan Cricket Board for making this dream come true by giving Pakistan a Cricket League of its own. The power of PSL will lead our cities and provinces rise above individual interests and create an atmosphere of national harmony, peace and hope.
