Peshawar Zalmi has expressed reservations about the schedule of the PSL 9. In a statement issued by Peshawar Zalmi, it has been said that the team was not included in all the actions of the schedule, and no confidence was taken before releasing the schedule. Peshawar Zalmi administration is disappointed with the schedule of only four matches in Rawalpindi and only one match in Karachi.
It has been stated in the statement that before the schedule was released, Peshawar Zalmi had requested three matches in Peshawar, near venues in Rawalpindi and Karachi, due to the support of Zalmi in these cities. Zalmi administration claims that after the schedule was released, a request was made to reduce the schedule of four matches in Lahore to five matches in Pindi and three matches in Karachi. Peshawar Zalmi administration has also informed the PCB headquarters of its reservations.
It has been stated in the statement that not only are the current schedule’s disappointing for the fans of Peshawar Zalmi, but also the commercial and marketing department of Zalmi is facing difficulties and reservations. Peshawar Zalmi has played a leading role in promoting and popularizing the Pakistan Super League, but PCB should consider the views of all franchises.
