Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan announced that Karachi would host the final of the third edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
While inaugurating the VIP enclosure at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, the home for PSL 2017’s final, PCB Chairman Shaharyar said; “Once the final of PSL-2 is successfully held in Lahore, the PSL-3 final will be hosted by Karachi.”
“We want that maximum cricket enthusiasts come to the ground and enjoy the game and that is why we have reserved ten thousand tickets to such people who can’t afford costly tickets,” he added. The chairman added that an equal opportunity is being given to spectators at just Rs. 500.
“The new block is a gift to the PSL administration from the PCB, as the creation of this block has added more facilities to the international-famed Gaddafi Stadium.” The College Block End had a grand lounge, VIP boxes and media enclosures, which had been equipped with modern facilities for the working of the media.
