The Pakistan Cricket Board would request the International Cricket Council and its member nations to spare a two-week window for successfully hosting its domestic T20 competition - the Pakistan Premier League - next year.A senior official of the Board said it was keen to host the Pakistan Premier League sometime in October next year."It is important we have the PPL with the support and cooperation of the ICC and other member nations because we want to make it a memorable event and add something unique to Pakistan's domestic cricket circuit," he said.The official said with plans drawn up to have foreign players signed up for the five or six teams in the event, it was necessary to have the PPL at a time when all teams were free of international commitments."We don't want the event to clash with future tour programme series or tournaments. We have decided to make it compulsory for every team to have at least three under-19 players, with two to play in each match," he said.The official also claimed that PPL would not be a replica of the Indian Premier League. "We are talking to prospective sponsors and event managers and the response has been very good to the PPL which would be a bit different from the Indian Premier League," the official said.
