The future of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is once again in uncertainty as it was revealed on Thursday that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is yet to secure landing rights for UAE.
The departure of teams, which was scheduled for 1pm today, is already delayed by four hours. UAE government has also gone back on its decision to give landing rights to players and officials arriving from India and South Africa.
An important meeting between PCB and franchises took place today to decide future of the remaining matches. Another meeting is also likely to take place around 3pm.
In the meeting PCB informed franchises about the operational issues regarding holding matches in UAE, which included ‘unexpected’ delay over landing rights for flights coming from India and South Africa.
PCB has assured franchises that it is considering all possible options, at this moment, and flights from Karachi and Lahore will depart for Abu Dhabi at 5pm.
