Excitement is building among cricket fans as reports suggest that PSL 11 matches could be staged in Peshawar for the very first time. The potential venue is Imran Khan Stadium, which has recently undergone infrastructure improvements.
The development reportedly follows approval from the provincial Apex Committee after a detailed security review, raising hopes of bringing top-tier T20 cricket back to the city.
A Historic Moment for Peshawar Cricket
Despite being home to Peshawar Zalmi, one of the most popular teams in the Pakistan Super League, Peshawar has never hosted PSL matches since the tournament began in 2016. If confirmed, this would mark a milestone moment for local cricket supporters.
Recent upgrades to the stadium have enhanced facilities, seating arrangements, and operational infrastructure, making the venue more capable of hosting high-profile matches.
Social Media Buzz Sparks Optimism
Speculation intensified after Javed Afridi, owner of Peshawar Zalmi, posted a celebratory message on X, hinting that PSL could finally arrive in the city. Fans quickly interpreted the post as a sign that preparations are underway.
Official Confirmation Still Awaited
So far, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and PSL management have not issued an official announcement. However, the possibility alone has generated excitement among cricket enthusiasts.
If the plan materializes, it could also open doors for the return of international cricket to Peshawar, a region that has long awaited major sporting events.
