Prior to PSL 11, the PCB is making news with a firm stand regarding the league’s sponsors deemed “un-Islamic” to be banned entirely. This historical step will protect the moral and cultural essence of the league, as well as the global reputation associated with Pakistan’s favorite cricket show.
Under the current PSL 11 sponsorship policy, advertising is strictly not allowed in connection with gambling, betting, alcohol, tobacco, and any other item considered unacceptable under government regulations. These requirements clearly reflect the PCB’s resolve to ensure its league stays in harmony with their country’s religious and cultural practices.

This follows previous controversies surrounding surrogate advertising, where betting companies managed to sneak their way into the PSL broadcast programs by using different names or copycat adverts. This attracted negative criticism from fans, academia, as well as policymakers.
Through the closing of these loopholes, PCB demonstrates that they do not intend for any ambiguity within the realm of what is allowed. It is quite clear that they have a message that says PSL is not where people come for roundabout promotion.
