Governor Sindh Mohammad Zubair, on a visit to the National Stadium on Sunday, said that cricket fans in Karachi would get an opportunity to watch "quality cricket" in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final which is scheduled to be held in the metropolis on March 25.

Zubair said that the arrival of international players in the country would "open the doors of international cricket" in Pakistan and observed that the security situation in the country is much better now than it was in 2013.

The governor added said that the entire country was thankful to the Sri Lankan team for visiting Pakistan for a Twenty20 match in October this year.

The third season of the PSL will kick off in Dubai on Feb 22, wtih the Peshawar Zalmi facing off against newcomers, the Multan Sultans.

A total of 24 matches will be played across different venues in Dubai, Sharjah, Lahore and Karachi. The final is to be held in Karachi on March 25.

This year, the PSL Season 2 final was held at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium amid tight security.

Following the successful execution of the PSL's first and second seasons, Pakistan hosted Sri Lanka for a T20 final, and a World XI T20 series at Gaddafi Stadium.
