Imran Khan opposes hosting PSL final in Lahore

Lahore, Feb 28 (IBNS): Former Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan on Tuesday opposed the plan of hosting Pakistan Super League final in Lahore.

Security has been tightened as Gaddafi Stadium is gearing up to host the final match of the tournament.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan tweeted: "No one wants int cricket to return to Pak more than me. But staging the PSL final in Lahore carries huge risks with no benefit at all."

He said: "A match played under a tight security ring around the stadium will exaggerate Pak's security issue."

Khan said: "And God forbid if any mishap happens we can say goodbye to int cricket in Pak for the next decade."

Under Khan's leadership, Pakistan had won the World Cup in 1992.
