Disappointing news for Pakistan cricket fans
Shares
The PSL franchises are expressing growing concern as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) considers two proposed schedules for the ninth edition, with undecided venues.
The delay is attributed to impending general elections, prompting a suggestion to move the competition to the UAE, though no final decision has been made. The PCB, favoring collaborative decisions with franchises, has sought government guidance. Two schedules, both including matches in Pakistan, have been drafted.
Javed Afridi, Zalmi's owner, desires Peshawar as a host city and has formally communicated this to the PCB. Finalizing dates and venues is crucial for broadcast and production deals. The tournament is set to begin on February 18th in Lahore, with the final planned for Karachi on March 19th.
There's a pending decision on whether PSL matches will be held in Pakistan or the UAE, as franchise owners have differing opinions on the matter.
