NEW DELHI, Mar 21 (India Today): Pakistan's Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Fawad Ahmed Chaudhry has confirmed that Pakistan will not be airing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 matches, starting March 23.

The decision comes after India's official broadcaster of Pakistan Super League (PSL), DSports pulled out from broadcasting the Twenty20 games midway through the recently-concluded fourth season held between February 14 and March 17.

Also, India-based producers of PSL, IMG Reliance also pulled out from producing as a mark of protest against the terror attack against Indian Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel in Pulwama on February 14. Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed had claimed responsibility for the dastardly attack that left 40 soldiers dead.
