What will be the effect of the India-Pakistan conflict on IPL and PSL

The ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan might have an effect on the functioning of IPL and PSL: here are the live updates.

India and Pakistan are currently in the middle of a conflict, following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. In the early hours of May 7, India launched Operation Sindoor, termed by the Ministry of Defence as "a precise and restrained response" to target cross-border terror planning hubs.

It led to the close of Pakistan's airspace, as well as operational changes to flights in the neighbouring states of India. The effects are likely to be long-standing, and felt across different sectors of both countries, including sports.

In the early hours of May 9, a decision was made on the PSL, moving the tournament out to the UAE. The IPL was suspended indefinitely, with no clarity yet on when it could resume.
