Pakistan Super League from 1st edition was very interested to bring International cricket back to Pakistan after a sad incident took place a decade ago where the Sri Lankan cricket team was attacked and ICC restricted Pakistan to host International games at home. PSL is the nation’s heartbeat which has paved the way for International Cricket back home after very successful 4 years of competitive T20 cricket. A lot of well known T20 superstars want to be part of PSL because of good amount of money and highly professional management which runs PSL. The last edition, Pakistan cricket board was able to host the last eight games out of 34 matches back in Pakistan last year in the fourth edition of Pakistan Super League where Quetta Gladiators won the trophy in the historic final with a full packed crowd. This year, PCB announced that they are going to host all matches of PSL 5th edition back in Pakistan and four cities which are chosen for the honor of hosting PSL matches are Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Multan.
