Singer Ali Zafar rendered his vocals to the first three editions of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) but in a break from tradition, the latest anthem was sung by Fawad Khan.

Fans were left wondering regarding why Zafar did not sing the anthem for this year's tournament as well.

Turns out, the singer-cum-actor's packed schedule did not allow him to do so. Speaking on Geo News programme ‘Score’, the singer said, "Due to my busy schedule, I could not manage to sing the theme song and had informed the organisers about it in advance."

"PSL is a brand now and I am glad that I had a role to play in its expansion," he said. He said that new faces should now emerge in the field.

PSL 2019's highly-anticipated anthem was released on Friday. The anthem which is titled 'Khel Deewano Ka' has been sung by Fawad Khan and eatures rapper Young Desi. It has been written by Shuja Haider.
