The wait will be over soon. People have started debates over the 6th possible team that will be playing in PSL-3 onwards. Which region does the new team will represent? Most people are of the view that the 6th team must be from Kashmir to give a befitting response to our arch rival India to show our love towards the people of Kashmir who have been fighting against Indian occupations since 1947. A large number of people and youth are asking PCB to add 6th PSL team from Gilgit-Baltistan. In their opinion, they said G-B has already been given provincial status in 2009 by the then federal government of PPP. GB should be given its representation in PSL like all other four provinces have.
