Chairman Mohsin Naqvi says national and international sports events can be organised in Balochistan. 

“Holding of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) matches in Quetta is being mulled over,” he said while addressing a press conference during his visit to Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti Cricket Stadium here on Tuesday.  

Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti, Home and Tribal Affairs Minister Mir Ziaullah Langove, former caretaker Prime Minister Anwarul Haq Kakar, and PCB officials accompanied the minister at the press conference.  Mohsin Naqvi also visited the stadium where he was briefed by the PCB officials.  Addressing the news briefing, he said, “On the special invitation of the Chief Minister Balochistan, he has visited the Akbar Bugti Stadium.” Installation of floodlights was the longstanding demand of the provincial government, he said while announcing that the floodlights would be installed within three months. 

“The installation of floodlights will help promote cricket and sports activities in the province, which is rich in talent. Youth of the province will be provided opportunities at the national level,” he added.  Earlier, Chief Minister Mir Sarfaraz Bugti extended his gratitude to the federal minister for giving attention to the sports in Balochistan.
