The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) expects strong participation from potential franchise owners at the Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) London Roadshow, set to take place at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground as the league prepares to expand with two new teams.

The exclusive showcase at Lord’s — described as one of world sport’s most prestigious venues — will bring together global investors, commercial partners and cricket enthusiasts for an evening highlighting the PSL’s league’s remarkable growth, commercial strength and future direction, stated a statement from the cricket board.

According to the PCB, the HBL PSL has quickly evolved into one of the world’s most dynamic and commercially robust T20 leagues. As preparations advance for expansion, the board said the league has already received “significant interest from potential ownership groups across the United Kingdom,” reflecting its rising global profile and deepening relationship with UK-based cricket stakeholders.

“The London Roadshow aims to build on this momentum by offering investors and fans an immersive introduction to the league’s commercial ecosystem and the vision driving its next phase of growth,” the PCB added.

The PCB, in the statement, said it expects the event to attract a diverse audience of business leaders, potential franchise owners and cricket supporters keen to engage with one of the sport’s fastest-growing leagues.

The initiative, the board said, underscores the PSL’s commitment to global expansion, strategic partnerships and delivering world-class entertainment and cricketing excellence.

In a statement, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said hosting the roadshow at Lord’s underscores the league’s ambition to elevate Pakistan cricket internationally.

“The PSL stands as a symbol of excellence and ambition, and taking this Roadshow to Lord’s — the heart of cricketing heritage — reflects our commitment to elevating Pakistan cricket on the global stage.”

He added that the UK market had shown “tremendous interest” in acquiring the newly proposed teams.

“This reinforces PSL’s international appeal. This event is an important opportunity to deepen global partnerships and share our long-term vision for expansion and innovation. We look forward to welcoming investors and cricket enthusiasts in London.”

Meanwhile, PSL CEO Salman Naseer said the roadshow will help bring investors closer to the league’s future roadmap.

“The PSL has established itself as a world-class cricket league with a powerful global following and strong commercial value. Hosting our Roadshow at Lord’s allows us to bring investors closer to the league’s future roadmap, including exciting opportunities arising from the introduction of two new teams,” he said.

He added foreign investor interest has been “extremely encouraging,” adding that the PSL is focused on building “a bigger, stronger and more internationally connected” league in the coming years.

Tennis legend Margaret Court remained firm with her concerns about Christian values being taken out of schools and what it meant for the lives of children.

Court expressed dismay in a recent interview with The Telegraph in the United Kingdom about children and teenagers questioning their genders and being able to have access to serious health-changing medications like puberty blockers – should one seek to change their gender.

“Christian values have been taken out of our schools. Some children don’t even know whether they’re boys or girls any longer,” Court told the paper. “This is where I get upset, because I look back at my life and I was such a tomboy when I was young. I played football and cricket, and I beat all the boys doing it. But I still knew I had two brothers who were different from me.

“Now you have children saying, ‘I feel like being a boy.’ Giving them hormone replacement before puberty? They end up trapped in their bodies and they can’t turn back. We don’t even allow them to drive until they’re 17. So why would you do that to another human being? What are we doing to our young people? I cry about that.”

Court is considered to be one of the greatest women’s tennis players of all time. She holds the record for most Grand Slam singles titles with 24 – a record that only Serena Williams was able to sniff, but never break. She has 64 major titles in total, with 19 women’s doubles championships and 21 major mixed doubles titles.

Court has been criticized for her views on same-sex marriage as well as other beliefs.

She told The Telegraph that she has nothing against gay people, but defended her reasoning that gay people shouldn’t be married in the church because the Bible says so.

“As a minister, I simply stood up for some values,” she said. “I have nothing against gay people. I just say what the Bible says, ‘A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’
