According to the report, there has been no formal meeting between the Pakistan Super League franchises and the PCB in this regard so far and many important issues are still resolved. The PCB is of the view that it will not be possible to hold the PSL in February or March due to the T20 World Cup scheduled early next year. A series of 3 T20 matches is scheduled between Pakistan and Australia in preparation for the World Cup, after which Pakistan will play a series of 2 Test matches against Bangladesh. A series of 3 ODIs between Pakistan and Australia is also scheduled after the PSL and the World Cup. Further, ODI and T20 series against Bangladesh and series of the same nature against Zimbabwe will be played after May. The PCB wants to hold the Pakistan Super League in April and May in view of all these engagements, including a proposal to add 2 new teams this time, which will increase the number of teams in the league to 8.
