The recently concluded Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022, where Shaheen Shah Afridi-led Lahore Qalandars won the championship by defeating Mohammad Rizwan-led Multan Sultans, was a major success for the Pakistan Cricket Board.

PCB chairman Ramiz Raja had revealed that the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 profits jumped to 71 per cent, which was the highest in the history of the league.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that they will be hosting a Pakistan Super League-style tournament for the women cricketers. This announcement was made on Wednesday by the head of the women’s wing Tania Malik.

Women’s PSL Set To Begin From 2023

The Women’s Pakistan Super League was scheduled to be held in the year 2022 but it was postponed as there was no space in the current window to host the T20 tournament for the women. However, now it’s official that the tournament will begin from 2023 as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja has given a green for the league.

Meanwhile, during a press conference at Gaddafi Stadium on Friday, Tania Malik lauded the Pakistan Women’s Cricket Team for their performance and was hopeful of the team finishing in the final four.

“Our team combination is good, and hopefully, the team can progress in the final four.”
