He took to his twitter account to break this huge piece of news as he said that the Pakistan Cricket Board has officially decided on the move and informed the Government of Balochistan that it wants to organise a match between the Quetta Gladiators and Karachi Kings on March 25, which is after the PSL ends.
He confirmed that the news on Monday while also adding, “Congratulations to everyone who wanted this to happen. There can’t be better news for cricket fans, for me and for people of Balochistan.”
He also shared that he wanted that one of the PSL matches should be conducted in the ground but there were restrictions in terms of the standardisation of the cricket stadium as it should fit the ICC standard so it was not possible. But he also said that Wasim Khan, the president of the cricket board himself visited the ground and showed optimism for it.
