PSL 2023 Confirmed Venues
PCB has been investing huge sums of money to prepare more International stadiums in the country which will one day provide one home venue for each PSL franchise. Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium Peshawar will be ready by next year and then Quetta’s Bugti Stadium will also go through a major renovation in the coming year. PCB has plans to build and renovate Niaz Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad as well in the coming years.
For PSL 2023, PCB has confirmed that the whole tournament will be played in four different venues across Pakistan which are as follows.
- National Bank Cricket Arena
- Gaddafi Stadium Lahore
- Pindi Cricket Stadium
- Multan International Cricket Stadium
The opening ceremony is expected to be held in Multan this year as per the timetable defined previously by Ex-Chairman Ramiz Raja while the current Chairman did want to change the venue to Lahore but was discarded by PSL management committee.
Who Will WIN PSL 2023
It is a very difficult task to predict and crown one team as favorites in this T20 format but looking at the psl 2023 all-team squads one can say Islamabad United looks like the best team on paper with great local and international resources available. Team Islamabad is filled with many all-rounders which are often considered the best approach to go in this shorter T20 format. Apart from Islamabad, team Karachi Kings is also having a major shift in their strategy for PSL 8 as Imam Wasim is making his comeback as the captain while Shoaib Malik & Haider Ali have joined the Kings from Zalmi.
