The ongoing PSL 11 has become a topic of debate as matches are being held in empty stadiums in Karachi and Lahore. The decision to run PSL without fans was taken as part of government austerity measures during the ongoing regional situation.
The PSL franchise request to Shehbaz Sharif and Mohsin Naqvi has now gained momentum, with team owners openly asking authorities to allow spectators back into stadiums. They believe PSL 11 is losing its charm without fan presence.
Earlier, Mohsin Naqvi announced that PSL without fans would help reduce public movement and conserve resources. However, franchise owners argue that such measures are affecting the spirit of PSL 11.
The PSL franchise request to Shehbaz Sharif and Mohsin Naqvi highlights concerns that the league is not the same without cheering crowds. Owners say fans are a core part of the PSL experience and their absence is being strongly felt.
