PSL 11 to be held without spectators
Last Sunday, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said that the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) will be held in only two venues without spectators as part of the government’s austerity measures amid escalating regional crisis.
Addressing the press conference along with the PSL CEO, Salman Naseer, Naqvi said that the opening ceremony of the marquee event has also been canceled to further streamline operations, along with the rescheduling of the matches.
He said that the much-awaited PSL matches will be held at two venues, Karachi and Lahore, with initial matches behind closed doors, adding that the decision aims to reduce public movement.
Addressing the ticket refund issues, Naqvi added that fans who have already purchased the tickets will be able to receive refunds. “Fans will be able to receive refunds for tickets, and we apologise to them for the inconvenience.”
He also noted logistical changes for staff, adding that full-time PCB staff will not be able to attend the PSL, but part-time staff will be able to work with the teams.”
Naqvi said the decisions were made following a joint meeting with PSL franchise owners and discussions with the Prime Minister and PCB’s Patron-in-Chief, Shehbaz Sharif.
