Overview
- The PCB Board of Governors on Sunday approved audited FY2024–25 accounts, adopted procedures aligned with the ICC anti-corruption code, cleared an expression of interest with Saudi authorities for a Jeddah stadium, and redrew Lahore’s cricket zones.
- Chairman Mohsin Naqvi told the board the PSL is now the best market for investment and said it could soon be the world’s top league, pointing to a record franchise auction for the 2026 season.
- The current PSL is being staged without fans at only Lahore and Karachi because of a national fuel crisis, which cuts ticket income and limits in‑stadium sponsor activity.
- Fakhar Zaman received a two‑match ban for ball‑tampering, with officials switching the ball and adding a five‑run penalty against Lahore Qalandars in the match where the offense was detected.
- The Emirates Cricket Board recalled Karachi Kings’ Khuzaima Bin Tanveer and Muhammad Waseem for the UAE’s domestic D50 event, showing how other boards can pull players mid‑season and leave PSL squads short.
