A section of cricket fans has been heavily trolling the Pakistan Cricket Board after the management decided to severely curb its arrangements for the Pakistan Super League. The PCB, on Sunday, March 22, decided to trim this year’s competition, reducing the number of venues from six to two amid the ongoing oil crisis.
Apart from cutting down the number of venues, the PSL has also decided to cancel the opening ceremony and hold matches behind closed doors in a bid to reduce expenses. Alongside the global oil crisis, the league has also been jolted by multiple player exits, with several players now signing as injury replacements in the Indian Premier League.
A section of fans found the situation hilarious and even dubbed the PSL as the “Petrol Shortage League,” mocking the tournament’s scaled-down arrangements.
The PSL is in direct competition with the Indian Premier League this year, as it was unable to go ahead in its original window due to the T20
