LAHORE – An opening ceremony for the eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is expected to be held this time at a new venue instead of Lahore and Karachi.
Reports said Multan, a major cultural, religious and economic center of Southern Punjab, has been selected to host the opening ceremony on Feb 13. The city will also host the tournament’s opening with defending champions Lahore Qalandars facing the Multan Sultans.
The competition is scheduled to take place at four locations—Multan, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Lahore—from February 13 to March 19.
