ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday announced that the upcoming eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will be held from February 9, 2023, to March 19, 2023, in at least four Pakistani cities. 

The PSL is Pakistan’s professional T20 cricket league held every year in February and March. Six teams representing various Pakistani cities take part in the tournament. So far, the PCB has organized seven editions of the tournament, with Lahore Qalandars winning the latest edition. 

PSL 7 was the only edition of the league which was staged in Pakistan from start to finish without any interruptions since the league began in 2016. However, the matches were only held in Lahore and Karachi. 

The PSL’s governing council, all representatives of the six franchises and PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja met at the National High Performance Center in Lahore on Friday to hold important discussions regarding the league. 

“It was decided that the HBL PSL 8 will run from 9 February to 19 March 2023. At least four venues will be used for hosting the matches, including Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi and Multan,” the PCB said in a statement. 

The PCB said further discussions for firming up the detailed schedule will take place between the franchises and the PCB in due course.

NEW YORK: The San Jose Earthquakes acquired forward Timo Werner from Bundesliga side Red Bull Leipzig on a permanent transfer Thursday and signed him to a designated player contract through June 2028.
San Jose acquired the German international’s “discovery priority” from Red Bull New York for $50,000 in 2026 general allocation money.
“We’re excited about signing Timo Werner,” Earthquakes sporting director and head coach Bruce Arena said. “I think he’ll be an excellent acquisition for our team, and we’re really looking forward to him coming to San Jose. To have a player of Timo’s caliber ⁠coming in is simply outstanding for the club and the community. I believe he’ll offer us quality on the field, experience and leadership.”


Werner, 29, has been a part of a title-winning side in the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club ⁠World Cup. He will occupy an international roster spot.
“It’s always a big decision to go to America, but everything is there to be successful,” Werner said. “The stadium and the facilities are beautiful. Also, it really impressed me that an experienced manager like Bruce, who has had so much success in the league, flew over here to Germany to talk to me about the plan.
“The Earthquakes fans can expect to get a player who gives everything ⁠on the pitch, every game. Every club I’ve joined, I’ve wanted to win a trophy. In the end, I’ve always delivered. That’s why I want to come to San Jose — to win.”
Werner has recorded 154 goals in 451 matches across all competitions in the Bundesliga and English Premier League while representing RB Leipzig, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea FC and VfB Stuttgart.
At the international level, Werner has totaled 24 goals in 57 caps for Germany, representing his country at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, UEFA Euro 2020 and the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League.
