Shaharyar Khan said that PSL 3 would take place in various cities and also disclosed that the decision had been taken to conduct an audit of the league immediately.

Regarding pacer Mohammad Irfan, Khan said that his punishment had not been severe since the fast bowler had admitted his mistake.

The PCB Chairman also spoke of the World XI coming to Pakistan in September and said that ICC representative Jiles Clark was satisfied with the security arrangements.

Regarding the Pakistan Cup, Shaharyar Khan said that its matches would take place in Rawalpindi while next year’s matches would take place in Karachi.
