HBL PSL 4 schedule is not released by the PCB. Pakistan super league (PSL 4) 2019 has started with a boom. Quetta gladiators being on top with all three wins is surprising most of the analysts. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) launched the PSL franchise in 2015 and it took off ever since. Now, this is going to be the fourth season as PSL 2019. However, PCB terminated the agreement with Schon Properties, the owner of Multan Sultan and handed it over to Mr. Ali Tareen, the son of Jahangir Tareen. On 14 November 2018, Habib Bank Limited (HBL) Pakistan became the partner of PSL for the coming three years up to 2021, which means that HBL will be a partner of PSL for another 3 seasons including the PSL 4. On 21 December the broadcasting rights were handed over to Blitz Advertising. Blitz Advertising is going to cover the Pakistan Super League for the next three years against $36 million. So, PCB earned 358% higher amount as compared to the past, great right?
