Despite the political unrest and safety concerns in Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that the Pakistan Super League (PSL) qualifier match will go on as planned in the Gadafi stadium. This comes as a relief to cricket fans who were worried about the possibility of the match being cancelled or moved out to Karachi.

The PCB's decision to proceed with the match shows their commitment to promoting cricket in Pakistan and their confidence in the security measures put in place. It also demonstrates the resilience of the cricketing community in the face of adversity.

The PSL has been a major success in Pakistan, attracting millions of viewers both in the country and around the world. It has provided a platform for local talent to showcase their skills and has brought international stars to Pakistan, giving fans the opportunity to see them play live.

However, the recent political unrest in Pakistan has raised safety concerns for players, officials, and fans. The cancellation of practice sessions by both teams ahead of the match is a clear indication of the gravity of the situation.

Decision taken after security assessment

The decision to proceed with the match must have been carefully considered, taking into account the advice of security officials and the PCB's own assessment of the situation. It is also likely that the PCB has taken measures to ensure the safety of players and officials, including providing adequate security at the hotel and stadium.

The announcement by Pakistan Cricket that the game will go on as planned is a positive development for the sport and the country. It sends a message of resilience and determination, showing that Pakistan is capable of hosting international events even in challenging circumstances.

The success of the Pakistan Super League and the commitment of the PCB to promoting cricket in Pakistan is a source of pride for the country.
