LAHORE: The meeting to decide the fate of Pakistan Super League (PSL) final in Lahore has been postponed due to some other engagements of Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Shahbaz Sharif was to preside over the crucial meeting here Saturday.

With just a week to go before the final of the PSL second edition, the Punjab government has yet to announce the decision on whether the final will be hosted in Lahore or not.

However, sources said, an apex committee meeting been scheduled for Sunday to review the security situation for hosting PSL final in Lahore.

A similar meeting, chaired by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to finalise a security plan for the PSL final match in Lahore, remained inconclusive here on February 22. The meeting that continued for over two hours discussed in detail security arrangements for the cricket match, to be played at Gaddafi Stadium here.

The meeting participants, however, failed to reach consensus how to provide a foolproof security to participating teams and match spectators.

Tuesday’s meeting was attended by higher police officials including IG Punjab, and representatives of Special Branch and other security organisations.
