DUBAI: The opening ceremony of Pakistan Super League 2019 took place at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday.

The national anthem of Pakistan marked the start of the event before Ramiz Raja, always the MC, took over the microphone.

Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Ehsan Mani acknowledged the contribution of UAE’s cricketing authorities and main sponsors for helping the board stage its flagship T20 league year in, year out.

Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the head of UAE’s Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Social Development was also in attendance.

Mani made way for a marching band that played Europe’s The Final Countdown — famous for being the tune of the 1992 World Cup, which the Pakistani national team won under the captaincy of incumbent Prime Minister Imran Khan.
