Peshawar
Zalmi is expected to complete renovations to the Arbab Niaz Stadium before the
start of the Pakistan Super League PSL 2020. However, the renovation process
may not be completed in time, which is why PSL management has not considered
making Peshawar a venue for PSL 2020 matches. The leaders of Peshawar Zalmi Javed
Afridi have expressed a desire to play a total of three home games for the
upcoming PSL 2020 season. Javed Afridi's plans to host matches in Peshawar were
shot down by Usman Wahla, General Manager of Operations, PSL. In an email, he
said that
Peshawar
Stadium will not be ready by the start of next season. That is why we will not
consider it for PSL 5 (PSL 2020). Javed Afridi subsequently contacted Prime Minister
Imran Khan and discussed the options with THE CCP President, Ehsan Mani, and
Director General Wasim Khan. President Mani will meet with Prime Minister Imran
in the coming days, where he will discuss the issue. Only then will we be able
to comment further on this situation.
