PSL 2025 Matches Shifted To Karachi After Operation Sindoor: Report
Curated By : Cricketnext Staff Last Updated: May 08, 2025, 16:16 IST As many as four of the remaining PSL 2025 matches were slated to be held in Rawalpindi. (AFP Photo) The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly shifted the remaining matches of the ongoing Pakistan Super League to Karachi amidst the ongoing cross-border tension with India. As per PSL 2025 format, six teams were to next play matches in Rawalpindi but the decision has been taken as India responded with drones and missiles on the night of May 7-8 after Pakistan's attempt to engage a number of military targets in Northern and Western India including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj. Indian armed forces have launched a military operation, Operation Sindoor, striking nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in response to the Pahalgam terror attack last month. Recommended Stories Earlier, PCB claimed that the overseas stars taking part in PSL have decided to stay back despite the ongoing geopolitical tensions. 'The foreign players met PSL chief Salman Naseer at a dinner last night and they had a 'gup shup' (informal chat)," PCB spokesperson Amir Mir was quoted as saying by Pakistan media. 'Naturally the current scenario may have come under discussion. There is no chance of the foreign players leaving the country anyway with airspace issues, but they are living under a heavy security blanket of Pakistan Army. There have been surgical strikes…but we don't expect that affecting the PSL. But if, God forbid, things do escalate, we will sit together to decide our next step," he added.

PSL Foreign Players Can't Leave Pakistan Due to Airspace Restrictions Amid Tensions
The future of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 is now uncertain following India's Operation Sindoor in the early hours of the day, which was a response to the Pahalgam terror attack. As tensions rise, many overseas players participating in the PSL have become worried. Reports indicate that several players wish to leave both the tournament and the country. However, they are unable to leave due to airspace restrictions. Amir Mir, a spokesperson for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), confirmed that the foreign players are unable to leave the country for at least the next 48 hours because of airspace issues. Reports have mentioned that seven English players have expressed interest in leaving the PSL midway. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is actively monitoring the situation and is in regular contact with the players. Amir Mir also mentioned that the foreign players met with PSL chief Salman Naseer for an informal discussion during a dinner. Naturally, the current situation came up in their conversation, but Mir reassured that the foreign players are safe, under heavy protection by the Pakistan Army. While there have been surgical strikes on both sides of the border, he emphasized that they do not expect this to affect the PSL. However, if the situation escalates, they will decide on further actions.

Amid Indian strikes, PCB in huddle to decide whether PSL should continue
KARACHI: Rattled by multiple Indian military strikes in Pakistan, the country's Cricket Board has called an emergency meeting to discuss whether the ongoing Pakistan Super League, which features a number of foreign players, should be halted. The T20 league, which features six franchises and is in its final stages, is currently being staged in Rawalpindi. It is scheduled to wind up on May 18 in Lahore. A reliable source in the Board said the PCB would follow the advice from the government on continuing the league and it would be holding discussions later on Thursday. "The meeting will review the situation because of the number of drone attacks by India since Wednesday especially in the Punjab province," the source said. PSL CEO Salman Naseer also met with the overseas players in Rawalpindi and assured them that they had nothing to worry about as the PCB is closely monitoring the situation. Some of the big international names who have signed up for the league are David Warner (Karachi Kings), Jason Holder (Islamabad United), and Rassie van der Dussen (Islamabad United) among others.

India's military strikes are in retaliation to the April 22 terrorist attack in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were gunned down in south Kashmir's Pahalgam. After successful missile attacks on nine locations in Pakistan to dismantle terror infrastructure, India on Thursday said it foiled attempts by the Pakistani military to engage a number of military targets in Northern and Western India using drones and missiles. The country's defence forces also destroyed a Pakistani air defence system in Lahore, officials said on Thursday. The Pakistani military attempted to target Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, they said.
