A chunk of the first few matches of Pakistan Super League 2023 will happen in Karachi. On that note, here, we look at the pitch report of the National Stadium and the weather conditions in Karachi for PSL 2023.
It is important that PSL does well in the popularity aspect. There are a lot of leagues these days and barring IPL, very few have their own identity. PSL has some fine domestic talent and a solid follower base. They must build on it and PSL 2023 will be proof of the efforts of the organizers.
Karachi Kings surprisingly let go of Babar Azam before this season. Despite that, they have a solid domestic core comprising the likes of Haider Ali, Imad Wasim, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Amir and Sharjeel Khan. The overseas department is well-stocked. Popular names such as Matthew Wade, James Vince, Imran Tahir and Tabraiz Shamsi will represent this team. They would want to impress their fans with a good show this time around.
