The Gladiators will compete in at least 10 league-stage matches across various venues in Pakistan, including Lahore, Rawalpindi, Karachi, and Multan.
Team Performance Outlook:
Historically, Quetta Gladiators were among the strongest teams in the PSL, clinching the title in 2019. However, subsequent seasons saw a decline in performance. The 2024 season marked a resurgence, with the team regaining its competitive edge. Fans are optimistic that this upward trajectory will continue into the 2025 season.
Home Ground Matches:
Currently, the Gladiators do not have scheduled matches at their home ground, Bugti Stadium in Quetta. The closest they came was an exhibition match against Peshawar Zalmi before PSL 8. There is a growing call for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to facilitate home games for teams like Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi, allowing local fans to witness their teams in action on home turf.
Conclusion:
The upcoming PSL season holds significant promise for Quetta Gladiators. With matches scheduled across multiple venues, the team has the opportunity to showcase its talent nationwide. While the absence of home ground matches is noted, the widespread venues offer a platform for the Gladiators to engage with a broad fan base.
