This, perhaps, is the highest profit earned by the PCB from the organisation of the PSL since it was launched in 2016.
Generally the PCB shares a 5-95 profit sharing formula with the franchises from the money earned from broadcasting, title sponsorship, gate money and other rights.
The official admitted that due to the Covid-19 pandemic disturbing the PSL 5 and 6 editions, the board had to distribute compensation amount of one billion rupees to the franchises to make up for their operating losses.
The official said that due to a profitable season the reserve funds of the board had also jumped from 12 billion to 15 billion rupees this fiscal year.
“Given the fact that because of the Covid pandemic since 2020 many cricket boards have suffered losses of revenues and faced desperate times the PCB has not only managed to stay secure but even made profits from the PSL.”
