The PCB had not proceeded with arrangements so far, but the pace looks set to quicken one month prior to the PSL. The board has invited representatives from all franchises to take part in the meeting scheduled for Monday and Tuesday.

The PCB is intent on keeping ticket prices low in order to maximise crowds in the stadiums. Based on home and away matches, the franchises will receive a share of the gate money.
