PSL Qualifier Cancelled: LAH vs MUL Pakistan Super League 2023 Qualifier 1 Cancelled? Here’s the update

There is a lot of political confusion and chaos currently in Lahore surrounding the possible arrest of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan. This whole political agenda has put the Qualifier 1 of the Pakistan Super League 2023 between Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans under massive threat. Both these teams cancelled their practice session just a day before the knockout encounter because of the same political confusion and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi has appealed to the government to increase the security of players and fans for the upcoming PSL 2023 playoffs.

@MohsinnaqviC42 HBLPSL8 multi million dollar Final on 19 March will be played before 25k people at Gadafi Stadium & 100 m across the globe. This is Pakistan’s finest showcase. Punjab govt must ensure failsafe security & smooth traffic flow to facilitate peoples access to stadium.

On Tuesday, the scheduled training sessions for two teams were cancelled due to political turmoil in Lahore, Pakistan. The decision was made after careful consideration of the safety of the players and staff, as well as the uncertain situation in the city.

The cancellation occurred as a result of recent protests and rallies in the city, which have caused disruptions to daily life and raised concerns about the potential for violence. The teams involved have not released any official statements regarding the situation, but it is likely that they were advised by local authorities to avoid any unnecessary public activity.

The cancelled training sessions may impact the teams’ preparations for upcoming matches, as training is a crucial component of professional sports. However, the safety and well-being of the players and staff must take precedence over any sporting events.

The situation in Lahore is a reminder of the importance of political stability and peaceful resolution of conflicts. It is hoped that the situation will be resolved soon, and that normal activities can resume in the city. Incidentally, the Eliminator 1 of PSL 2023 between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi is scheduled to take place on 16 March, 2023 in Lahore.
