KARACHI: The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023 matches in the port city will continue as scheduled, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and all six franchises of the agreed Friday night.

After the attack on the Karachi police chief’s office earlier in the day, doubts were raised on the future of scheduled PSL 8 matches in the metropolis.

However, an emergency meeting was called by the PCB which was attended by franchise representatives. In the meeting, PCB, in consultation with security agencies and the provincial government, took franchises in confidence.

As a result, they all agreed to continue with the ongoing edition of PSL as per schedule in Karachi.

Per the schedule, Karachi Kings will take on Quetta Gladiators at National Bamk Cricket Arena on Saturday. Peshawar Zalmi’s squad will also arrive in the city early today as per schedule.

Karachi will host back-to-back matches on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The last match in the city will take place on February 26.

It must be noted here that when the attack took place, Quetta and Lahore Qalandars were practising in the city’s stadium. Both the teams stayed inside the stadium until security clearance.
