PSL Project Executive Shoaib Naveed: “It has taken some time for us to initiate the tickets refund process, but I hope fans will understand that we had to cover all our bases due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation in the country. I request all ticket holders to ensure that they follow the government SOPs and maintain social distancing.

 “This year’s edition of the HBL PSL turned out to be a massive success with half a million passionate cricket fans coming to the four venues across the country to watch high-profile T20 cricket stars in action. It also established the PCB’s credibility as sound event organisers by hosting one of the biggest sporting events in country’s history. The PCB, along with all franchises, remains committed to reschedule the four matches of the HBL PSL 2020 which couldn’t take place and are eager to complete the edition.”

The PCB will announce the tickets details when the remaining four matches are rescheduled.
