The fifth edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) is all set to be entirely held in Pakistan this time as few of the matches from the last edition were held at UAE and Dubai.
The chief executive of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Wasim Khan has recently come up with an announcement that might be a reason for happiness for cricket freaks and patriots.
From the PSL 2021, more venues are to be added to the current venues where the league will be held. The game will now revolve around every possible city of the country to relish everyone from different cities just not staying limited to three or four main cities.
“By next year’s PSL, we want to be in a position to add a couple of more venues. We are looking to develop more and more venues which provide us an opportunity to take the game around the country” said the CEO of PCB.
