PCB to reschedule PSL games

May 09, 2025 00:00:00


The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will reschedule some of the remaining PSL 2025 matches, as continuing tensions between Pakistan and India disrupt the league's tenth season, according to ESPNcricinfo.

The league held an emergency meeting in Islamabad on Thursday, including the PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi meeting with foreign players, after a drone fell within the Rawalpindi Stadium complex. Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi were scheduled to play there on Thursday though that game has been rescheduled. In any case, heavy rain through the day in Rawalpindi had meant the game was likely to have been disrupted.

Pakistan says the drone, one of multiple that fell or were downed across several locations in the country, was from India. India said drones had been fired in response to Pakistan attempts to engage military targets overnight on Wednesday. This followed Indian missile strikes at several locations in Pakistan on Tuesday night, as a response to the terror attack in Pahalgam in Kashmir in April. "The PCB is reviewing the situation and will be rescheduling some of the PSL matches," the board said in a statement. "Further updates will be provided as matters are finalised."

It is not clear whether the matches will be moved to another city or whether the dates will be changed. But Karachi, also affected by the drones, is a likely option having hosted games earlier in the season.
