Ali Khan Treen, the owner of the angels of Sultans, criticized the Pakistan Excellent Association (PSL) because of its decision to make Ali Zafar the performance of the anthem for the tenth edition of the league, and she wonders about the lack of diversity in the selection of artists.
With the transition to Instagram, Tareen expressed his frustration with the repeated PSL dependence on ZAFAR, writing, “There are many amazing artists in Pakistan. However, nearly half of our hymn has been granted to the same middle middle -aged, although the privileges that raise concerns. They are talking about making this the largest PSL ever, and while continuing to give space to the same recycled sounds.”
Repeated choice raises questions
PSL announced on Tuesday that Zafar will perform the official anthem of PSL X, which represents the fifth time as a distinguished singer in the league. I sang previously “Ab Khel Ke Dikha” (2016)for “Ab Khel Jamay Ga” (2017)for “Dil Se Jaan Laga De” (2018)And it returned with “Kholle Khail” In 2024, after stopping in the wake of legal cases with singer Misha Shafi.
Tareen’s criticism reflects broader concerns about the PSL approach to selecting the artist. In the past, the privileges were said to have prompted new voices, but the league continued to restore ZAFAR despite the objections.
What next?
Despite the reverse reaction, the PSL did not refer to any plans to reconsider its selection. The date for the release of Zafar’s PSL 10 Anthem has not been announced, while the tournament starts on April 11.
