PCB hopeful of breaking even as PSL ends - dillinger10 - 02-25-2016
Some interesting news and notes regarding the PSL provided by the tournaments mastermind Salman Sarwar Butt.
Quote:
- [li]Total Investment made by both Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the five franchises was around $20 million[/li]
[li]Some franchises will go close to the break even after the first edition while some will not[/li]
[li]PCB is very possibly set to break even[/li]
Will the PSL be staged in Pakistan? If yes, when?
- [li]We wished to organise the league in Pakistan, but we have to strictly consider the security situation back home as there is involvement of foreign players and coaches[/li]
[li]We will definitely take the league back to Pakistan as the security improves with time[/li]
[li]The next edition will be held in February 2017 in the UAE, but we are considering staging some matches in Pakistan[/li]

I would take any article from The Dawn with a pinch of salt. Even though it may be true they are known for cherrypicking facts to suit their case. $20 million was not a big investment so it is not surprising that they are hopeful of breaking even
