The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly making a significant decision to host the entire Pakistan-Bangladesh series in Faisalabad, as per Jang News. This marks a shift from the usual practice of splitting matches across multiple venues.
Why Faisalabad?
By centralizing the series in Faisalabad, the PCB aims to:
- Enhance local engagement and provide fans with an immersive cricket experience.
- Streamline logistics by avoiding multiple venue changes.
- Boost local businesses through increased fan attendance and media coverage.
Impact of PSL 10 on Venue Selection
The limited-overs series follows the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). With major stadiums in Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Multan having hosted extensive PSL matches, Faisalabad emerges as the ideal alternative venue.
