Ramiz Raja-Javed Afridi row
PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja has slammed Peshawar Zalmi owner Javed Afridi for declaring Arbab Niaz Stadium as one of the venues for the upcoming 8th edition of the PSL and nullified his claims saying Arbab Niaz Stadium Peshawar is not fit to hold PSL-8 matches.
The report, quoting sources, revealed that Raja has made it clear that Peshawar will not be hosting matches of the next edition of the PSL.
It has further been learnt that security forces have not yet declared the venue suitable for international matches, it said.
Ramiz said during a meeting that Javed Afridi had told him that the new stadium will be of the highest standard but the overall quality of the stadium was less than satisfactory. He added that it is not possible to hold the matches at the stadium.
He revealed that the entire PSL-8 will be held in Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. Multan is also a potential venue, he said.
He further stated that Multan Cricket Stadium has the potential to host further international matches.
He also hinted that some matches of the upcoming tours of England and New Zealand can also be played at the Multan cricket stadium.
