Several of the foreign players, who took part in the PSL

in Dubai and Sharjah, had refused to play the final in Lahore.

The big names included like Kevin Pietersen, Kumar Sangakkara, Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Brad Haddin, Luke Wright, Nathan McCullum, Rilee Rossouw etc.

But West Indian Darren Sammy and Englishmen Chris Jordan and David Mallan came for the final.

Since militants attacked the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in March 2009, international sports in Pakistan has been hit hard with teams refusing to travel to the country.
