A new proposal to stage a 16-team domestic T20 event, under the supervision of Miandad, will also be discussed in the PCB G-B meeting today in Abbottabad.

The Express Tribune has learnt that the former cricketer has planned to include three teams – Bahawalpur, an U19 outfit and a side with players from Fata, Dera Murad Jamali and Larkana – to the 13 regional sides that take part in the domestic event.

The new proposal also includes the idea of hosting the tournament in two cities including Lahore and Rawalpindi. Another issue will be the report on the progress of the Islamabad Cricket Stadium and the upgradation of the Abbottabad Stadium which will be visited by PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf and other members.
