Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee Chairman Najam Sethi Friday proclaimed that the matches of the eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will take place in Quetta.

The statement came after the first meeting of the management committee held today.

“I am delighted that seven years after launching the Pakistan Super League, I am today proclaiming our commitment to add Bugti Stadium in Quetta as the fifth venue for our marquee event. Bugti Stadium is the home ground of Quetta Gladiators and we still remember the unbelievable scenes when the Gladiators visited the city after winning the 2019 tournament,” Sethi was quoted as saying in a press release by the PCB.

“The passionate cricket fans of Quetta have been waiting a long to watch high-profile cricket in their backyard and I am pleased that we will now bring PSL matches to their doors. In this relation, I have already spoken with prominent officials in the Balochistan province, who have assured me of their complete support from event delivery perspectives,” he added.
