Who is responsible for the financial costs of security in PSL?

[Bleedgreen4ever]

A masoomana question

Any information?

Is it the provincial govt or PCB?

if it's the provincial govt then we can easily say that PCB has made a fortune out of the three matches that were held in Pakistan

 

[badsha001]

Probably Pak army and Provincial Government foot the bill for all security arrangements...

 

[Slog]

im sure it must be a share b/w govt and pcb

 

[Savak]

So now are posters going to say that spending $100,000 a day on renting stadiums in the UAE not including the costs of hoteling, eating, travel of the players, officials is much cheaper than the cost of providing security in Pakistan?

PSL is privately owned and run. At least that is my limited knowledge/understanding. If that is the case, the PSL should be footing the bill for all costs. I don't see any reason why the tax payers should be on the hook for these costs.

It's not privatized yet.

Plus why is the CM taking credit for all the security arrangements if he is not paying for any of it?

 

[Major]

Security comes under Interior Minister.

PCB doesn't provide or pay for security.

Its a cost bared by the govt.

foreign nationals are guest, and their security is to be arranged by interior minister..


Its one of the reasons why i blame Rehman Malik for the Sri Lankan Attack

If this is a private entity undertaking, why should the general public bear the cost. This is a for profit venture, which means the entity should bear all the costs not the taxpayers.

I am sure that is how the international matches work all over. The case is even stronger for all the *SL's to pay all of the costs as they are even more privately owned and run and for profit too.

In premier league uk the policing costs are met by the police themselves not by the premier league clubs so it's the uk taxpayer who foots the bill

The clubs are only responsible for the club stewards and even many of these I are volunteers and not paid .

So for security it's the governments job not psl or sethis

I think you are confusing two different things here. I was merely questioning why the taxpayer should foot the bill for a private, for profit endeavor.

You are wrong there buddy.

Well that may be the case but the met police in London claimed they spent 7 million on policing London football games , and London clubs did not pay , the biggest problem for the met police was West Ham fans where the costs and hooliganism was bigger

 

[carbon11]

Until sethi tells us the detail costs of the security the op is clutching at straws

Like I said the metropolitan police spent over 7 million on policing football games in London and according to the mirror article only recovered 178000 pounds from the London clubs which are some of the richest in the uk and owned by billionaires .

So like most of the country uk the majority of costs who foot the bill is the taxpayers themselves . If the big clubs are only paying such a small fraction then the lower league clubs are probably paying almost zero and you have some really nasty clubs like luton Leeds millwall where the fans do need policing .

 

[Bleedgreen4ever]

Can anyone please confirm who is responsible for security costs?

 

[Savak]

Can anyone please confirm who is responsible for security costs?

The govt of Pakistan, the armed forces, interior ministry, police.

 

[par]

In India, the cost of the security is the responsibility of the BCCI.

 

[cricketjoshila]

That is correct.

 

[Itachi]

The govt of Pakistan, the armed forces, interior ministry, police.

So, the govt pays the liabilities and PCB claims all the profit.

Am i missing something?

Is the cost of the security more than $100,000 per day the PCB pays to rent the UAE stadiums along with the food, lodging, traveling, entertainment cost of the players, officials, coaches?

why you are asking me? I just asked you.

What i got from here is, the cost of security is handled by govt hence it doesn't get reflected in PCBs balance sheet. Seems like a PSL has subsidized component in the system.

 

[Abdullah719]

Deleted a whole lot of nonsense here.

Can we please remain on topic and not make every thread a PSL vs IPL comparison thread?

 

[rhony]

At the end of the day it doesn't matter who's footing the bill PCB or the provinces or the army. There is a massive expense here for every game. Not to mention the cost of business losses around the area. No idea how this works in the long term.

Pakistani's are extremely ungrateful people and can never appreciate anything. Always something to complain about i.e. Cost of hosting the PSL outside Pakistan vs Cost of providing security to foreigners in Pakistan.

Agreed but the security was needed

Until sethi doesn't release all the figures we can't be sure of anything .

But in the long run you can't keep conducting games where sections of the city become paralysed and it starts effecting local business and their trade.
You can't start creating a Baghdad green zone for every game hence why I'm sceptical whether half of the games can be held in Pakistan

I guess the PSL should go back to UAE then

Its a conundrum and maybe PCB already did the financial planning. In the long term, PCB can get a lot more visibility, sponsorships if it is held in Pakistan. Obviously the success of this will lead to the revival of international cricket in Pakistan. It surely helps with the perception that Pakistan is a safe place to play sport or conduct business. So, the start has been excellent and was required.

However, the plan would be perfect if at some point the expenses can be cut down. When is that going to happen? Can PCB or the provinces afford to do this for another 5 years? The idea that the security could be drastically reduced as more matches are played is flawed. It took a decade to make this happen and another incident could derail the whole thing. What is the Risk vs Reward in the short and long terms.

Providing full proof security to VVIP's, Govt ministers, US embassy officials, Senior Army officials is nothing new to the country, the cost of providing security to the foreign players may not be that burdensome either.

You keep saying foreign players. It's 8500 security personnel that were deployed
