The chairman Pakistan Cricket Board, Ehsan Mani has announced that the PSL 2019 Pakistan-leg matches will start on 9th March. The Lahore Matches have been shifted to Karachi due to logistical and operational problems. The PCB has taken this decision due to the uncertain situation of the security in Lahore. The airspace of Lahore and all flight operations were suspended temporarily. As a result, the PCB faced difficulties securing production instruments.
Earlier, some matches were scheduled to be played in Qaddafi Stadium Lahore, but now, all the PSL 2019 Pakistan-leg matches will be played in the National Stadium Karachi. All the six franchises taking part in PSL 2019 series supported this decision, and the Pakistan-leg matches have been rescheduled. The matches will start on March 9, 2019 (Saturday) and it will be continued till March 17, 2019 (Sunday).
The PCB chairman stated that a few last combats between the teams would be more exciting and interesting for the viewers.
