Online ticket sales are now live, allowing fans to secure their spots for the tournament.
This year, the six-team event will be hosted in four cities: Karachi, Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi. The grand final will take place at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on May 18, with a total of 34 matches scheduled over 37 days.
With international players and officials involved, extra measures are being taken for the high-profile event, covering not only the games but also the teams’ movements and accommodations.
A wing of Rangers and two companies of the army are to be stationed in each city to assist the police in keeping everything safe and secure, especially as the teams travel and settle in their hotels.
