The eighth edition of the much-awaited Pakistan Super League (PSL) kicked off on Monday at the Multan Cricket Stadium with a glittering and star-studded opening ceremony.
The ceremony, which began with a half-hour delay, saw singer Aima Baig — clad in an ethereal white gown — first performing the national anthem.
Speaking at the ceremony, Habib Bank Limited (HBL) President and CEO Muhammad Aurangzeb congratulated the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for organising the tournament for the eighth time.
“This is a historic first in terms of having the inaugurating match in Multan this evening,” he said.
“HBL PSL has moved from strength to strength. All the stakeholders have put in a concerted effort to make this a success.”
