- Karachi

Regarding adding Quetta as a venue for PSL 8, Mr. Sethi gave a lot of positive statements on 23 December 2023. He said he was thrilled to announce that, seven years after inaugurating the Pakistan Super League, they have committed to making Bugti Stadium in Quetta the fifth location for their flagship event. Quetta Gladiators play their home games at Bugti Stadium, and he recalled the fantastic events once the Gladiators toured the city upon claiming the 2019 competition.
But later, the PCB retracted the statement. Now, some exhibition matches will be played in Quetta. PCB will officially add it to their list of PSL venues if it all goes well.
