The remaining fixtures of PSL 2025, set to be played in the UAE, have been postponed.
The ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan has affected T20 tournaments in both countries.
While the BCCI has postponed the IPL by a week, the PCB had shifted the remaining PSL matches to the UAE.
The PSL, now in its 10th year, has previously hosted its matches in the UAE. The league's first two seasons, in 2016 and 2017, were held there (except for the 2017 final). Part of the sixth season in 2021 was also relocated to the UAE due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A new update by the PCB has postponed the rest of the tournament as well.
