The Thursday match between Peshawar Zarmi and the Karachi Kings, scheduled to be held in Rawalpindi, has been postponed after Pakistani troops said Pakistani troops have been destroyed in various Pakistan cities.
Officials from the Pakistani Cricket Committee said one drone misfired at the BBC Sport, leading to an explosion in the street behind the stadium in Rawalpindi. The BBC was unable to verify these claims.
PSL organizers remain enthusiastic about tournaments where eight equipment stand out, but player safety is a priority.
An official from Pakistan’s Senior Cricket Board (PCB) told BBC Sports:
Seven English players had separate debates over whether they would return to the UK.
They had consultations with the Professional Cricketers Association (PCA) on Wednesday to discuss the situation. It is understood that emotions are mixed among the people of Pakistanis.
Other major international names on the PSL include Australia’s David Warner (Karachi Kings) and former West Indies captain Jason Holder (Islamabad United).
The UK Foreign Office is currently advising all mandatory trips within five miles of the Pakistan-Indian border.
The Indian Premier League match between the Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals began as planned at Dharamsala on Thursday but was cancelled after 10.1 overs after floodlights were released.
The Sunday match between the Kings and Mumbai Indians was moved from Dharamsala to Ahmedabad.
Dharamsala is located in Kashmir and adjacent to Himachal Pradesh, and flights were cancelled at the airport on Wednesday, making it difficult for Mumbai Indians to travel.
“There is a need for changes to the venue due to logical challenges,” India’s Cricket Committee (BCCI) said in a statement.
26 civilians were killed in India-controlled Kashmir last month, accusing Pakistan of supporting the militants behind the attacks – allegations rejected by neighboring countries.
The situation escalated on Tuesday evening when India launched a series of strikes with a move called “Operation Sindoor.”
