The players today expect 5 star hotel facilities with recreational options, gyms, swimming pools. In the next few months we are going to inspect the state of the stadiums throughout the country and assess what needs to be done
1) Rawalpindi Stadium
- It is being renovated and upgraded, Rs 100 million has already been spent on it and it should be ready by June-July 2019. Obviously it is not going to be like the National Stadium but its good enough
2) Multan Stadium
- We have a good stadium in Multan, it is close to 5 star facilities, it will need some upgrading ofcourse
I realistically expect that we can get 4-5 stadiums in Pakistan up and running for the next PSL in 2020 and that way each stadium can have an average of 7-8 games in total
3) Hyderabad Stadium
- The CM of Sindh urged that we hold a few PSL matches in Hyderabad next year, but the problem is we don't have any ownership of the stadium and the stadium over there is in very bad shape, there are also no floodlights in Hyderabad and there are no 5 star facilities close by so it will be a logistical problem
- I told the CM if he wants it done then he has to work on the stadium and do something about the 5 star facilities
4) Miranshah Credit Stadium
- I have been told that there is a good stadium there
5) Shahid Afridi Cricket Stadium in Fata
- I have been told that there is a good stadium there
6) Muzzafarabad Cricket Stadium
- I have been told that there is not only a good Cricket Stadium there but there is also an Excellent 5 star Pearl Continental Hotel close by as well. If we can even hold one PSL game there, we will do it and DGISPR has assured us that he will provide us with all the logistical support that we need
