PSL 2021: Crowd capacity increased from 20 to 50 percent
The crowd capacity for HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 has been increased from 20 percent to 50 percent after National Command and Operation Center (NCOC) allowed Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to increase the number of spectators.
The NCOC confirmed the news in a statement on Wednesday, adding that a full capacity crowd will be allowed during the play-off matches.
“Spectators' attendance in PSL pool matches [will] be increased to 50% instead of [the] presently allowed 20%, whereas full attendance will be allowed for the playoffs with stringent COVID SOPs,” the statement said.
Moreover, a PCB official also confirmed the development and hoped for its implementation from Friday, but said that modalities are yet to be finalised.
“We are trying to implement it from Friday’s games in Pakistan Super League but we’ll have to look at various aspects and decide the modalities regarding the immediate sale of tickets and other protocols,” the official said.
The fresh NCOC guidelines means there will be 15,000 spectators allowed during PSL games in Karachi and 11,000 in Lahore.
