Cricket fans won’t feel the dearth of T20 leagues despite three tournaments coming to an end within a couple of days because of the imminent commencement of another high-profile competition in Pakistan Super League.

The eighth edition of Pakistan’s cricket carnival will kick-start with a rematch of the final match from the previous season. Multan Cricket Stadium, which had last hosted a PSL match three years ago, will be hosting Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars on Monday.
With this season of the PSL to be wholly conducted in Pakistan, venues other than Karachi and Lahore will be hosting the tournament for the first time since 2020. Other than the three aforementioned cities, Rawalpindi will also be hosting matches this year. The number of matches by per city are Karachi (10), Rawalpindi (10), Lahore (9) and Multan (5).

In what would’ve been a refreshing development, Quetta was expected to become the fifth PSL 8 venue but the talks didn’t materialize due to the weather-related restrictions in Pakistan’s biggest province (by area).
“The main reason is extreme weather in Quetta and also the delay in starting the preparations for the extravaganza,” a PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) official had told The News last month while expressing hope around the Bugti Stadium likely to host a few matches during PSL 2024.
