PSL to resume on Saturday after postponement

13-05-2025

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) will resume on Saturday 17 May after its postponement because of the hostilities between India and neighbouring Pakistan.The tournament was suspended over safety concerns on 8 May, and plans to play the rest of the matches in the United Arab Emirates were then scrapped.There are eight games remaining, with the final to be played on 25 May - one week later than its originally scheduled date. All remaining matches will be played in Rawalpindi and Lahore.This also means that Pakistan's series against Bangladesh will likely be rearranged, as the first T20 was scheduled for the day of the new final. The league's overseas players had all left Pakistan once the suspension was confirmed, and it is unlikely that they will return to the country. Sam Billings, James Vince and David Willey were among the English players participating. The Indian Premier League (IPL) was also postponed but it has since been confirmed that it will also resume on Saturday, with all 16 remaining fixtures rescheduled.

The startling truth about this iconic Ashes photo: For two decades, it was a symbol of sportsmanship between England and Australia. The reality is VERY different

It's the photo that has become synonymous with good sportsmanship: England hero Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff bends down and touches Aussie star Brett Lee's shoulder to console him after his side's crushing, last-over loss in the second Test of the 2005 Ashes. Except that's not what happened at all.
