PSL 2020: Moeen Ali believes that singling out Pakistan for security concerns is unfair

In an exclusive interview with The Cricketer, Moeen Ali reveals that singling out Pakistan for security concerns is unfair. Ali hoped that the ongoing PSL 2020 can change the perspective of overseas teams when it comes to touring Pakistan. Moeen Ali added that he hopes that England will look at the possibility of touring Pakistan with several English stars plying their trade in the PSL 2020 including the likes of Chris Jordan, Tom Banton and Alex Hales. 

The security systems for the PSL 2020 are extensive, with all six teams being provided head-of-state detail for the span of the tournament. That means snipers on rooftops surveying hotels, vast armoured convoys to matches, airport-style bag scanners outside stadiums and lockdown rules for the players in their accommodation.
