In series of tweets Khan said that arranging the PSL final in tight security will further highlight the security vulnerability of Pakistan.
“A match played under a tight security ring around the stadium will exaggerate Pak's security issue.” Khan said.

The PTI chairman also expressed the fear of another mishap which, he believes, can result in Pakistan’s cricket isolation for at least the next decade.
“And God forbid if any mishap happens we can say goodbye to int cricket in Pak for the next decade.”
