The Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8 schedule will continue as planned thanks to an agreement between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and all six franchises.
There are concerns about the future of the PSL 8 matches that are set to take place in the Karachi city following the attack on the Karachi police chief’s headquarters on Friday night.
Nonetheless, the PCB convened an urgent meeting to which franchise representatives were invited.
In the meeting, PCB took franchises’ confidentiality after consulting with security organizations and the provincial government.
