According to police officials, an ICC team visited Arbab Niaz Stadium to assess the possibility of holding PSL matches. Officials stated that the ICC team surveyed the ground, pavilion, area routes, and hotel routes for foreign players.
The Peshawar Police Chief briefed the ICC team on the security situation. Police officials mentioned that shuttle services for spectators, drone camera monitoring, and a helipad near the stadium will be arranged.
