"I am a die-hard fan of cricket and have been looking for an opportunity like this in U.S for a very long time but all other ideas out there never really impressed me enough to make the move. I did my due diligence and studied the APL plan thoroughly and every box was a check. I even went down to the Yogi Berra stadium to check the venue out and personally spoke with the owner of the stadium. I just can't find any loop hole in this plan. There will never be a better idea than an Indians vs Paks match in the middle of the most highly concentrated South East Asian Community in the United States. I am very well connected with the Pakistani event promoters and with their help I will rally the entire Pakistani community behind APL and the PAKS team. It's really an honor to own a team which represents my country and my community and i will leave no stone unturned to put together the most competitive, disciplined and exciting team full of local and international talent," said Ali.
Jay Mir, Founder and CEO of APL added, "The Cricket revolution in America is just getting started and I welcome Mr. Ali on board this historic journey. APL has signed over two thousand candidates for trials already in the very first 10 days of the Cricket revolution. Our phone lines and operators are overwhelmed with fans, players, umpires, commentators, scorers, pitch curators and volunteers inquiring about APL and offering their support and services and the most surprising part of all this is that 25 percent of these trial registrations are coming from Canada alone. People are loving this idea of teams named after their communities. We are currently in serious negotiations with other potential franchise owners and our tickets and match schedules are going live April 20th. I am truly amazed and humbled by the unprecedented love and support we are getting from fans across U.S.A and Canada and rest assured we will give these fans the best, most exciting and thrilling cricket show in U.S.A."
