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.
