Depends on which Pakistani you are talking to. I for one follow domestic cricket even in places like Japan and Chile

But yes. My guess is that majority of Pakistan is interested in World Cup, or India v Pakistan games. After that comes games involving Pakistan and either Australia or England. Then the rest of Pakistan games. Then ODIs or Tests not involving Pakistan.

In terms of ODI and Test, I must say that 70-80% of the cricket followers in Pakistan watch ODI. Not many watch tests, unless there is something exciting about to happen on the last day or something.

After that there is absolute lull. I dont think anyone follows domestic cricket (but thats a fault of organizers), and I can tell you for sure that of the 40-50 other Pakistanis I know around here, I am the only one following the U19 World Cup

Bangladesh is the most cricket mad country in the world. Its good for everyone that that is the case. Good to see the U19 team doing well in the world cup and keeping the critics quiet.
