He further said that the approval came with an “important condition from his side” that fans are “strongly encouraged to use public transport or minimize fuel consumption while attending the matches, in line with the ongoing national austerity efforts.”
“He also conveyed his best wishes to all four teams competing in the PSL playoffs. Looking forward to some exciting and entertaining cricket ahead,” Naqvi wrote.
Fans allowed for PSL 11 final
Earlier on Saturday, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has permitted to hold Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) Final in the stadium with spectators, who were denied entry throughout the tournament.
In a post on X, the PCB chief said that he requested Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to allow spectators in the stadiums, which he has accepted for only the tournament’s finale.
“While he was also inclined to permit fans, he emphasized that austerity measures are currently in place across Pakistan, with efforts underway to minimize fuel consumption,” Naqvi wrote.
He further said that, however, on the request of franchise owners, he has graciously approved the presence of fans for the PSL 11 Final. “I sincerely thank him for this decision and for facilitating the fans,” he wrote.
PSL 11 final tickets
Meanwhile, the PCB has said that the tickets for the PSL 11 final scheduled for May 3 went live on sale today at pcb.tcs.com.pk, with physical sales slated to commence on Tuesday.
“Physical tickets will be available at 18 designated TCS Express Centres in Lahore from Tuesday at 10 am,” the PCB said in a statement.
The cricket board further said that fans should reach the stadium before the start of the match to witness the curtain closing ceremony before the final match of the tournament.
With fans now allowed for all the remaining four matches of the eight-team tournament, the PCB has yet to share the ticketing details.
