PSL franchises kept in dark about PCB's deal with betting firm: report

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchises were reportedly unaware of the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) agreement with a betting firm, Express News reported.

The PCB last month admitted that one of its broadcasting partners had struck the deal with a bookmaker that saw PSL 2020 matches gambled on from outside of Pakistan and countries where betting is legal. 

While the board maintains that it is looking into the matter, the six franchises reportedly told the Urdu daily that they were not privy to the development.
