Situation about PSL in Pakistan
Pakistan Cricket has faced lots of problems after the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore. It took 10 long years for Pakistan Cricket Board to recover from the disgraceful attack and improve its Cricket. Pakistan Cricket Board struggled a lot to bring back the Cricket to the land of Pakistan. PSL proved a ray of light to bring the international players to the country because each PSL franchise has a number of foreign Players and the majority of them had agreed to visit Pakistan.
The situation with India was not expected when PSL started. Now the main question is that how many International players will agree to visit Pakistan for PSL despite the present situation. If no one agrees, will PSL be canceled?
Some people claimed that PSL will be canceled because no foreign player will agree to visit Pakistan or India in the present feud. However, on the other side, it goes without saying that in order to ensure the safety of the cricketers the matches which were scheduled for Pakistan will be held in UAE.
However, the latest news is that PCB chairman, Ehsan Mani has confirmed that the last eight matches of the HBL PSL 2019 will be played in Pakistan as per schedule. The PCB chairman also confirmed that star cricketers will be showing up in Pakistan for the 8 matches. The South African cricket star, AB de Villiers has confirmed his visit to Pakistan to play for Lahore Qalandars. Ehsan Mani also said that star cricketers showing such positive response will surely bring back cricket to Pakistan sooner than expected.
5 matches of the PSL will be played in Karachi whereas 3 will be played in Lahore. The tickets for the matches have already been sold. The only thing worrying Pakistan is that if India takes any wrong step then PSL would surely be a victim. Let’s pray for the situation to get better so that PSL will be played in Pakistan without any hurdles.
