In light of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, a scheduled Indian Premier League (IPL) match has been relocated from Dharamsala to Ahmedabad. The decision, made purely for logistical reasons, comes amid growing concerns following India's military strikes in Pakistan, linked to recent cross-border violence.

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia assured Reuters that foreign players in the lucrative 10-team league are at ease with the situation and committed to playing. The IPL is renowned for its celebrity team owners and lucrative contracts, attracting top international cricket talents.

Additionally, flight disruptions have strained logistical operations, prompting the match's move. Across the border, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced potential rescheduling of the Pakistan Super League matches, with foreign players contemplating their participation due to the conflict.
