“Pakistan has gone through a rough period, but now is en route to peace and stability,” Khan added.
The ongoing PSL edition 4 is entering its final stages in Karachi. This year, 8 fixtures of the competition, including some group fixtures and the knockouts were scheduled to happen in Lahore and Karachi.
However, owning to Pakistan-India political tensions, the fixtures in Lahore we cancelled and the entire remainder of the tournament was shifted to Karachi.
On Wednesday, Quetta Gladiators beat Peshawar Zalmi to qualify for the final.
Peshawar still has a chance to qualify for the final, but they will have to beat the winner of the match between Islamabad United and Karachi Kings.
Internationally acclaimed cricket stars like Darren Sammy, Darren Bravo, Luke Ronchi, Shane Watson, Kieron Pollard and others will feature in the remainder of the fixtures in Karachi.
