PCB plans PSL Sixes tournament to expand cricket in Pakistan

Summary

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is discussing the creation of a new six-a-side tournament called PSL Sixes, aimed at increasing the sport's reach during the off-season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). CEO Salman Naseer indicated that the tournament could engage fans by taking it to smaller cities where PSL matches are not regularly held. Unlike the international Hong Kong Sixes format, PSL Sixes may feature franchise-based teams representing regions in Pakistan. This initiative follows Pakistan's recent withdrawal from the World Championship of Legends due to tensions with India. The PCB has also denied permission for Pakistan's over-50s team to compete in India next year for the International Masters Cricket World Cup.
