The first edition of the PSL is set to kick off today (Thursday) with the inaugural match between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The Franchise-based PSL will include 24 T20 matches in Sharjah and Dubai from February 4 to February 23 among five different teams including Karachi Kings, Peshawar Zalmi, Islamabad United, Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators.
All the franchises are empowered with the presence of international super stars like Chris Gayle, Kevin Pietersen and Shane Watson in their squads.
The PSL matches will also be streamed live on psl-t20.com and pcb.com.pk.
Last month, the Pakistani government lifted the ban from YouTube, over three years after it was blocked across the country over blasphemous content which sparked violent protests.
