Islamabad, Rawalpindi fans disappointed at PSL snub, demand greater action next year

With the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 limited to just the major hubs of Karachi and Lahore due to Covid-19, cricket fans in twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi are disappointed at missing out and want the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to give them a greater number of share next year.
Cricket fans in the federal capital and its surroundings had ensured capacity crowds in the few PSL matches that took place in Rawalpindi last year.
“We anxiously waited for the PSL VI and were confident that the Pindi Stadium will get its due share for this edition but the news of confining this year’s league to only two venues shocked us. Pindi’s crowd is more supportive and energetic as compared to any other city. Even the 20 percent crowd would have made its presence felt at the Pindi Stadium,” Yasir Shakil, a local club cricketer, said.
