We will earn profit from PSL: PCB

Pakistan Cricket Board is confident of gaining profit from the Pakistan Super League despite the T20 competition was suspended at the semi-final stage due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to official sources, the PCB is set to make profits from four major commercial deals, including broadcasting and digital media.

"We will earn more compared to the four previous editions because majority of the matches (in earlier editions) had to be held in the UAE where we generally had low crowds and commercial deals were also not very profitable," a source told PTI.

"The losses will come from four matches being held behind closed doors in Karachi and Lahore but the gate money receipts are minimal compared to the profits we will make from commercial, sponsorship and broadcasting deals."
"So we can't make any claims as we postponed the matches due to the virus and other games were hit by bad weather."
