Pakistan won the T20 World Cup in 2009

An inaugural Twenty20 Pakistan Super League will be held in Qatar next year.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) says 40 foreign players from all test-playing countries, except India, have expressed an interest.

The tournament will take place from 4 to 24 February 2016 in Doha and will feature five teams playing for prize money of £64,350 ($1m).

It will take place in Qatar because of a lack of venues in Dubai, the home of Pakistan cricket since 2009.
