Quetta Gladiators' performances also provided a relatively privileged and terrifying city for the team to gain the support of the locals.
Nadeem Omar, the owner of the franchise is once again ready for this show, and has the confidence to upgrade the trophy this time, although Quetta will not be the number one choice from last season.
"We suffered some hiccups because some players who in our last season were unavailable in this season, some quit due to various reasons," Nadeem Omar speaks to geo.tv
"But our best is that our core team is still intact and I am very confident that this time we will cancel the PSL trophy in Lahore," he said.
Omar is a famous cricket enthusiast and entrepreneur, he said that all five PSL team at this time are very strong, no one can say which two teams will be in the final.
"It's about performing on a given day and if you can perform on the day of the game then you'll be at the top and I'm sure the Gladiator will be able to deliver what everyone expects from them," he said.
Omar agreed that Quidda was not considered a contender until last season but insisted he never thought he was starting to play as a weak. However, Nadeem said that this time no one would make the wrong gladiator lightly.
"The Quetta Gladiators were not taken seriously for the last time, but we were against all odds and now every team takes us seriously,
He further insisted that he did not support the idea of celebrity in the team when playing cricket, the only important thing for him is the performance on the pitch.
"Celebrities can turn off live events, but people will support their performance, not what your celebrity is with you in the box." Even so, we have the largest Cricketing world celebrity - Viv Richards, with us, "he said.
"It's all about strategy, we have the best strategists, all the teams are competitive and I want exciting cricket in the tournament," Omar said.
Quetta's owner also supported the idea of Captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, named Quetta Gladiators, as the captain of the Pakistani cricket team, saying that the wicket batsman is the birth leader.
"Sarfaraz is a very good leader and that's great for all the top players like KP and Sangakkara and they agree to be led by Sarfaraz and I always believe he (Sarfaraz) is also a born leader," he said.
