Following the government s official go-ahead, the Pakistan Super League 2021, which starts on February 20, will not be a closed-door event. Spectators will be allowed up to 20% of the ground s seating capacity, meaning Karachi can accommodate 7,500 people per match and Lahore 5,500. Fans are the PCB s biggest asset and we are delighted that no matter a small number, but some will be able to have access to the matches, board chairman Ehsan Mani said. Their presence will add flavour and excitement to one of the biggest and most challenging leagues in the cricket calendar. We understand not everyone will get an opportunity to watch the matches due to the limited number of seats, but these are baby-steps and considering that most of the sport events are being played in empty stadium, this is a positive achievement and a step in the right direction.
