The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Tuesday, after a meeting of the PSL general council in Lahore, that it would seek form𝄹al advice from the government on finalisi🐷ng the PSL-9 dates because of the general elections slated on February 8.
The PSL is generally held annually between Feb 19-20 and March 20𝓀-21.
There has been talk in the PCB that some officials and franchise owners are in favour of the PSL to be held in UꦜAE or South Africa next year to avoid any interruption in the schedule of matches.
The argument being given is that even the BCCI had organised the IPL in South Africa and UAE🎃 in emergency situations, such as the elections in India.
The earlꦫy🐲 editions of the PSL were held in the UAE because no teams were willing to play in Pakistan due to security concerns.
But since 🌠2021, the PSL has been held entirely in Pakistan, even during the Covid-19 pandemic.
A reliable source said that opinion was divided on whether the PSL should be held in Pakistan or abroad, with some franchises and board officials keen on having it in the UAE while some 🐈others were resisting the move as it would impact the PCB's profits.
The PCB said t🌳hat the franchises had also asked the board to complete t𝓀he process of selling the media and other rights of the PSL as soon as possible.
