4. KPL dispute
Although the KPL was organized with great fanfare and attracted interest from the audience and the film industry as a team, the competition was not entirely uncontroversial.
Allegations of player involvement in match-fixing and betting have surfaced more than once, forcing the KSCA to take some drastic action. Of course, the growth of Kovid-19 in the country leads to a gap of two years between 2020 and 2021. Now, KSCA is ready for the new version from 2022.
