The decision to stage Pakistan Super League (PSL) matches at Muzaffarabad Cricket Stadium was finalized during a special roadshow at London’s iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. This announcement marks a pivotal step for cricket’s expansion across Pakistan and a significant development for Azad Jammu and Kashmir. It grants local fans access to top-tier sport while promoting regional tourism.
Chairman Naqvi guaranteed that the stadium will receive substantial upgrades to satisfy international standards, creating a world-class venue. Additionally, he stated the area would feature five-star hotels tailored to meet international cricketers’ specific requirements. Naqvi described this as a truly proud moment, bringing elite cricket to this scenic region with state-of-the-art facilities and luxury accommodations ensured for players.
Beyond PSL games, Naqvi confirmed that future international matches are also planned. Ultimately, this strategic initiative aims to elevate Azad Jammu and Kashmir’s profile, transforming the area into a key cricketing destination with improved infrastructure.
