Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 final will now be played in front of a live audience after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved the entry of spectators, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed on Saturday.
The decision was made after formal appeals from PCB officials and franchise owners. According to Naqvi, the prime minister had initially been cautious about allowing crowds due to the government’s ongoing austerity measures and efforts to limit unnecessary fuel use.
However, after reviewing the request from stakeholders, PM Shehbaz Sharif gave the final approval to permit fans inside the stadium for the championship match.
The PCB chairman welcomed the decision and thanked the prime minister, saying it would significantly enhance the excitement of the final and allow cricket supporters to experience the event live.
