  FM LISTENING | Cricket talk on Power 99 FM
  It was Faisal's passion in life that led him to base a programme entirely on the beautiful sport 'Cricket'. The programme is called 'Cricket Talk', aired every Thursday to Saturday from 9pm to 11pm on Power 99 FM. Before this Faisal used to do entertaining shows based on playing random music and light chit chat. But having his mind on cricket most of the time, his conversations were usually based on the sport. This, sometimes really irritated and irked listeners who would tune to the show strictly for entertainment purposes and not really wanting an in depth review on recent cricket related happenings.
