International cricket is returning to Pakistan with Karachi hosting the fourth edition of Pakistan Super League on March, 9th. Celebrities are just as excited as we are sending out warm welcomes for foreign players.
Twitter is filled with excited fans dying to see their favorite International cricketers play in Karachi. Pakistani celebrities are also fawning over players just like any cricket buff.
Karachi’s National Stadium has been revamped for the festivities. Meanwhile, Karachi has been lined with billboards and posters welcoming all cricketers to Karachi, both local and foreign.
While Pakistan is now safe for foreign celebs (just ask Akcent who even came by in 2017), there is a stringent security plan in place as a precaution. We don’t want anything soiling PSL 4.
Celebs are cricket buffs too and putting out warm welcomes to the International players. They’re just as giddy to see these cricket stars play in their homeland.

Let’s see how this will affect the outcome of PSL4 final face off. Last time a lot of teams faced issues convincing foreign players, who ultimately didn’t participate in the matches hosted in Pakistan.
