PSL 6 Mired in Controversies Before Launch

Even before commencement, Pakistan Super League (PSL) 6 has been mired in controversies by its organizing body, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

Pakistan team defeated South Africa in the T20I series after the Test series and showed players came up with exceptional performances.

The dispute started with PSL 6 theme song ‘Groove Mera’ which left cricket fans and former cricketers disappointed.

Followed by this, PCB announced to hold the inaugural ceremony of the cricket event outside Pakistan.

The opening ceremony of PSL-6 would be held in Turkey this year and the fans were shocked and disappointed to hear this news.

Recently, the lush-green and beautiful cricket stadiums in Gwadar and Azad Kashmir had grabbed the attention of cricket fans as well the International Cricket Council (ICC).
