Bolstered by the support from the fans as well as security agencies and the government for hosting the final of the Pakistan Super League season 2 in Lahore, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Shahryar Khan today said that they have also decided to host the PSL 3 final in Karachi. PSL 2 has reached the business end now and the top four teams will take on each other in the playoffs in the UAE before two finalists will fly to Lahore to play the big final at the Gaddafi Stadium.

Shahryar was at Stadium in Lahore to inaugurate the VIP enclosure, while the preparations for hosting the final are underway in full swing. “After Lahore, PSL3 final will be held in Karachi,” the 82-year-old said also adding that the newly constructed VIP area in the stadium is a gift from the PCB to PSL.

Earlier just yesterday after days of confusion, attempts and arrangements Law Minister of Pakistan’s Punjab province had confirmed that the government has given a green signal to the PCB to host the PSL final. The match scheduled to be played on March 5 has been under the spot light since it was announced to be played in Lahore.

After persuasion and assurances, all the five franchises had agreed to play the final in Pakistan while the foreign players were not sure and were advised against it by the player’s body as well.

There has been a constant security threat with the terrorists targeting the area after the intentions of hosting the match was announced. Leading into the day there have been several attacks and bomb blasts. But PCB’s determination to bring back cricket to their country has been backed by the armed forces; Pakistan Army chief has assured them security. Top level security will be provided to all the players, teams as well as the spectators at the stadium.
