According to sources, the city of Rawalpindi will host eleven matches, with the host team, Islamabad United, playing five games at their home. 

“Yes, Pindi Stadium will host the most number of matches during the eighth edition. Out of 34 matches during the PSL 8, host team Islamabad United will be seen in action five times at home. There will be a one-day break in between and one match for each day while a doubleheader is also planned in between,” a source said.

The decision to hold many matches at the Pindi Stadium was made based on the large crowds that have attended previous PSL and international matches at the venue.

“The huge crowd at Pindi Stadium has recently shown unprecedented support for national and international cricket. We have decided to organise eleven matches at the venue considering the crowd interest and their overwhelming support for cricket,” he said.

The PSL held last year was confined to Lahore and Karachi only due to Covid-related complications, which required lesser movement for the players, support staff, and officials.

 The PSL will begin with an opening ceremony at the Multan Stadium on February 13, and the final will be held at the Gaddafi Stadium on March 19.
