Foreign players taking part in the tenth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) have left Pakistan due to rising tensions with India.

 

The players and staff were flown out on a special aircraft arranged by the Pakistan Air Force.

 

Reports said that the foreign broadcasting crew has also returned to their countries.

 

Meanwhile, some Indian media outlets claimed that the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) refused to host the remaining PSL matches in Dubai. However, these reports are false.

 

According to Emirati media, officials from the ECB have not rejected Pakistan's request to hold the remaining PSL matches in the UAE. 

 

The board confirmed that no such decision had been made and that they had not stopped Pakistan from organizing the games.

 

On the other hand, PSL 10 has been postponed indefinitely in light of the current national situation, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Thursday.

 

According to the official statement from the PCB, the remaining eight matches of the tournament have been postponed. The decision was made after consultation with the Prime Minister, who advised that the nation's focus should remain on the efforts of the Pakistan Army during this critical time.

 

The board stated that a new schedule for the remaining matches will be announced later.

 

Earlier, the PCB had announced plans to shift the remainder of the PSL 10 season from Pakistan to Dubai. However, in view of the developments over the past 24 hours, the league has now been suspended.
