The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has started initial preparations for the inception of its own cricket channel.
According to sources, Najam Sethi said that an application has been submitted to PEMRA for the license of the cricket channel and the board is still awaiting a response.
This is a huge achievement as out of all the Test playing nations, Pakistan will be the first one to have its own TV channel. The source also disclosed that the channel will broadcast all the matches along with pre and post-match analysis.
