Imran Khan has described PCB’s decision to hold the Pakistan Super League final in Lahore as "madness" after a bomb blast in the city earlier in February killed 13. The Federation of International Cricketers' Association has already warned international players not to visit Pakistan.

“The idea of having the PSL final in Lahore is madness to me,” Imran was quoted as saying by PTI. “What message of peace will we send out in such conditions. If something, God forbid, happens, then it will put Pakistan cricket back by 10 years."

Previously, the 1992 World Cup-winning captain had said, “when terrorism happens, it gets highlighted more, and foreigners get scared”.

Former PCB chief executive Arif Abbasi has also opposed the idea of hosting the final in Lahore. “I think the risks involved in having the final at this time are high and the environment is just not right to take such a big risk,” Abbasi said.
