PSL to Proceed Amidst Rising Tensions: An Unwavering Commitment

Despite heightened tensions following a terrorist attack in Kashmir, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is set to continue as planned. The PCB reassured that no overseas players have requested to leave, despite precision missile strikes by India on terrorist targets in Pakistan and PoK. Matches will proceed as scheduled.

Despite escalating cross-border tensions with India, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will continue as scheduled, announced the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday. This assurance comes in the wake of a terrorist attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam, followed by Indian military strikes on terror targets in Pakistan.

The Indian armed forces executed precision missile strikes targeting Jaish-e-Mohammed strongholds in Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba bases in Muridke. These actions were in retaliation for the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which left 26 people dead, predominantly tourists.

No overseas players have signaled a desire to exit the league, according to PCB officials. Matches are planned to proceed, with Rawalpindi hosting from May 7-10, and the final and eliminators in Gaddafi Stadium, showcasing an unwavering commitment to the sport amidst geopolitical challenges.
