PCB’s dreams of putting PSL on the same pedestal as the IPL might just be thwarted soon. For sometime now, it has become clear that the Pakistani board wants to hold their marquee T20 tournament in the same months as the IPL. But, now it seems that the PSL franchise owners aren’t really on the same page, and have expressed their dissatisfaction.

The letter, as per the report, talks about the concerns over the dates of the PSL, which is likely to be scheduled in April and May after the Champions Trophy 2025.
