Pakistan Super League final will be held in Lahore as scheduled, law minister of Pakistan Punjab Rana Sanaullah said, according to Pakistani media.

The announcement will be made shortly by the Chief Minister Secretariat, the minister was quoted by Dawn as saying.

The recent spate of blasts in Pakistan had raised questions on whether the final of the tournament will be held in the country or not. Dubai was being seen as a likely alternative.

But now, with the minister's statement, these doubts have been laid to rest.

This edition of the Pakistan Super League started on February 9, and the final is scheduled to take place on March 5.

"I want to reiterate on this occasion that the final of PSL 2 will be in Lahore, Inshaallah," said PSL chairman Najam Sethi had said before the tournament began.

Rameez Raja, brand ambassador of the tournament, had said earlier that hosting the final in Pakistan was of great news for all the fans as they have been starved of seeing superstars not playing at home and this will give them a great opportunity.

"I don't know whether the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore will be able to handle the pressure of a PSL final but I'm hoping they all come and we have a great spectacle as this will take Pakistan to new horizons," added the former Pakistan captain.
