## Venues

[edit]

On 24 July 2021, PCB announced that the seventh season of PSL will be held in January and February 2022 with all matches taking place in Pakistan.[11][12] The National Stadium, Karachi, would host 15 matches, while the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, would host 19 matches including the playoffs.[13]

On 30 December 2021, National Command and Operation Center issued that only fully vaccinated people will be allowed to gather at the stadiums, after potentially lifting the restrictions of COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan.[14] Tickets sale started from 11 January 2022.[15]

On 19 January 2022, NCOC banned the entry for kids under age of 12 as they were not eligible for vaccination yet, and issued that only 25 percent crowd will be allowed in the Karachi phase.[16] On 7 February, it was issued that 50 percent crowd will be allowed in the Lahore phase initially, and then full crowd including children will be allowed from 16 February.[17]

## COVID-19 protocols

[edit]

On 5 January, it was reported that all matches will be played as per schedule under strict standard operating procedures, though the officials were worried about a surge in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant,[21] as they neither wanted to shift the league to UAE,[22] nor wanted to postpone due to a packed international schedule of Pakistan cricket team.[23]

Therefore, a pool of about 19 local players was reserved in isolation;[24] these could be used in replacement in case of any emergency, like if more than 8 players out of 22 from any team test COVID-19 positive. If the whole league got struck then the winner would have been announced on playing conditions instead.[25][26][27]

The PCB regulated three distinct bubbles with different protocols. The main bubble had all the teams, staff, and officials. Each franchise was not allowed to meet within the hotel premises. The two other bubbles were set at separate hotel, comprising production crew and ground staff respectively. The bubbles were also not allowed to interact, and every individual should follow health and safety guidelines. Any violation might result in fines or expulsion from the league.[28][29]

On 2 February, PCB suspended umpire Faisal Afridi from next five matches due to breaching the bubble, and he had been fined 50% of his fees from next match.[30]

## Match officials

[edit]

On 17 January, PCB announced the list of officials for league stage matches; this includes 3 Elite Panel of ICC Umpires out of 12, and 2 Elite Panel of ICC Referees out of 5,[31] while others are from PCB's Elite Panels.[32]

### Broadcast rights

[edit]

Since the previous deals concluded in 2021 after a three-year run,[34] HBL renewed the title sponsorship rights for four more years with a 55% increase from the previous deal.[35] PCB signed a new two-year broadcast deal on 10 January 2022 with a consortium of Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) and ARY Digital Network;[a][23] their bid was 50% more than the previous deal.[37] Daraz signed for the livestreaming rights on 22 January;[38][39] they won the bid on 26 December with a 175% increase.[40]

In response to the broadcast rights, Aitzaz Ahsan told that Lahore High Court dismissed the petitions filed by Geo TV; one against PCB's bidding process and the other against PTV-ARY joint venture.[41][42] Ten Sports also broadcast this season after a gap of three years.[43][44]

### Anthem and curtain raiser

[edit]

PCB announced two-year partnership with TikTok on 21 January.[45] The anthem titled "Agay Dekh", sung by Atif Aslam and Aima Baig, was released on 24 January.[46] This season featured a low-scale curtain raiser in Karachi on 27 January.[47]

### Media personnel§

This was largely down to Alex Hales, who scored an unbeaten 82 in the victory.[63] Fakhar Zaman scored the first century of the season in game six, helping the Lahore Qalandars to a 6 wicket win over Karachi.[64] In game seven, Multan were looking to continue their winning start against Quetta. They did this with a half century from Shan Masood propelling them to a 6 run win.[65] Shadab Khan's 91 was in vain in game eight, as Multan beat Islamabad by 20 runs.[66] In game nine, Fakhar Zaman scored 66 to help Lahore to a 29 run win over Peshawar.[67]

#### Week 2

[edit]

Shadab Khan led from the front in game ten, he took 5 wickets as Islamabad beat Quetta by 43 runs.[68] Shoaib Malik gave Peshawar their second win of the season in game eleven. He scored 52 as Peshawar defeated Quetta by 9 runs.[69] The next day, Zaman Khan bowled an economical last over, conceding four as Lahore beat Islamabad by 8 runs.[70] On the same day, Tim David scored the second fastest half century in PSL history, as Multan beat Peshawar by 57 runs.[71] Match 14 saw another loss for the Karachi Kings, this time by 42 runs to Islamabad United.[72] In the last game of the Karachi leg, Jason Roy scored the highest score of the tournament.

#### Week 3

[edit]

The Lahore leg started with another win for the Multan Sultans, this time by 42 runs over Peshawar, which later meant they qualified for the play-offs.[74] Multan's unbeaten run came to an end the next day, as Lahore led by Fakhar Zaman's 60, inflicted a 52 run loss on them.[75] Sarfaraz Ahmed led from the front in game eighteen, he scored an unbeaten half century to steer Quetta to a 5 wicket win over Islamabad.[76] Hazratullah Zazai scored 52 in game nineteen to help Peshawar to a 55 run win over Karachi.[77] On the same day, Kamran Ghulam scored 55 to help Lahore to an 8 wicket win over Quetta.[78] Karachi Kings were eliminated as a result of game twenty one.

#### Week 4

[edit]

Mohammad Haris scored his first PSL half century in game twenty four, helping Peshawar to a 10 run win over Islamabad.[82] Multan scored the highest total of the tournament in game twenty five, resulting in a 117 run win over Quetta.[83] As a result, both Peshawar and Lahore qualified for the play-offs.[57] The Karachi–Lahore derby brought a change in fortunes for the kings. They beat the Qalandars by 22 runs to get their only win of the season, on their ninth attempt.[84] Harry Brook's century helped Lahore beat Islamabad by 66 runs in game twenty seven.[85] Despite beating Karachi by 23 runs, Quetta were pretty much out of the PSL in game twenty eight. They would now require Islamabad to lose by 156 runs in their final game.[86] Islamabad did lose their final game to Multan. However their 6 wicket loss was enough to send them to the playoffs at Quetta's expense.[87] Shaheen Shah Afridi's cameo of 39 with the bat sent the final game of the league stage to a super over against Peshawar. His opposing captain Wahab Riaz bowled an economical super over though, conceding 5 runs to help Peshawar Zalmi finish the league stage off with a win.[88]
