PSL4 Matches To Be Played In Pakistan
PSL4 Matches To Be Played In Pakistan: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering hosting the full 4th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in the country. The decision for the change in venue for the tournament will be decided in a meeting on June 12th.
According to board sources, PCB has already made up its mind that hosting PSL in Pakistan is a better deal, considering the amount of leagues taking place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) later this year.
The board wants to take all franchises on board. The relationship between the PCB and UAE cricket authorities has suffered in the past couple of months, with terse statements coming from both camps.
Chairman Najam Sethi in April, warned UAE cricket authorities that PCB will consider moving its home venue from the Middle Eastern country to Malaysia if other countries leagues will take place between October and March.
Sethi’s warning seemed to make little difference in the attitude of the UAE cricket authorities who announced their own version of a star-studded T20 league that will take place between December and January.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has already announced that their T20 league will also take place in the Emirates in October, whereas a T10 league will take place in November in the country.
Taking all those developments into consideration, the PCB will discuss with all the franchises the possibility of holding the full tournament in the country in 2019.
One franchise official, confirmed that they will be backing PCB’s idea of hosting the full tournament in the country.
Another franchise official was of the view that PSL in Pakistan will be a hit product, regardless of how many big name players will make it to the tournament.
He said that Once we have the PSL in Pakistan, we can attract hundreds and thousands of followers of each franchise to the ground, which means even if big name players don’t come to the country, it will not hurt the brand’s image in the long run.
