LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that spectators will now be allowed to attend all three playoff matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), following formal approval from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The decision was confirmed by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi after a meeting with the Prime Minister. While granting permission for public attendance, the Premier emphasised that the move must align with the government’s ongoing national austerity drive.
