The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced plans to organize an exhibition cricket match in Peshawar prior to the commencement of Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10, bringing high-level cricket back to the city.
The match, which will feature star cricketers, is scheduled to take place at the Arbab Niaz Stadium, where renovation work is currently underway. PCB officials have confirmed that the stadium's reconstruction will be completed before the exhibition match.
This initiative follows a similar successful event held in Quetta during 2023, as part of PCB's efforts to expand cricket's reach across various regions of Pakistan. The exhibition match format has previously proven effective in bringing professional cricket to cities outside the regular PSL circuit.
The fans in Peshawar will have the opportunity to watch top-tier players compete in their home city. The exact date and participating players for the exhibition match will be announced by the PCB in due course.
Stadium renovation work is being prioritized to ensure the facility meets international cricket standards before hosting the event. The exhibition match is expected to serve as a precursor to potential future cricket events in the region.
