Who Are PSL 11 Final Match Officials?
The officials of the PS 11 Final Match have now been announced, which has further fuelled the excitement of the title match between Peshawar Zalmi and Hyderabad Kingsmen. The panel was announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board only a day before the grand finale.
The grand final of the Pakistan Super League will be held on May 3, in the legendary Gaddafi stadium. The choice of seasoned officials speaks volumes of the board being keen on upholding fairness and professionalism considering the stakes are at the top.
The head of the Playing Control Team will be the former international cricketer of Sri Lanka that has a high level of respect, Roshan Mahanama. His appearance imparts credibility and experience to the largest game of the year.
Mahanama is not new to the PSL. He has played in all the 11 seasons of the league. As a match referee, he has a good track record over a period of years as he has presided over a total of over 100 matches in the tournament. The fact that he was involved all the time shows how much the cricket authorities trusted him.
The appointment is an indicator of the importance of experience in high-pressure games. Small decisions are usually made during finals and when a seasoned official is involved, it is a lot easier to deal with a tense situation.
