RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), on Thursday, confirmed that the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 clash between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings has been postponed.
The decision was made due to rising tensions between Pakistan and India. Details indicate that the new date for the match will be announced soon, and it is likely to be rescheduled in Karachi.
“The Pakistan Cricket Board, in consultation with all the stakeholders, has decided to reschedule tonight’s HBL PSL X match between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings,” the cricket board stated in a press release.
“The PCB will announce the revised date in due course.
“Moreover, VIP Gallery and enclosures ticket holders can obtain refunds from TCS Express Centres for tonight’s match, while tickets bought online for tonight’s encounter will be automatically reimbursed in the accounts used at the time of booking.”
The decision was finalised during an emergency meeting on Wednesday, attended by PSL franchise owners and representatives from law enforcement agencies.
The high-level huddle was convened to ensure the safety and continuity of the PSL 10, which had reached a critical phase.
Due to increasing concerns about security risks, the PCB, after consulting with all stakeholders, has decided to relocate the remainder of the league to Karachi.
However, recent reports indicate that the tournament may be moved out of the country to either Doha or Dubai.
While this logistical pivot presents challenges, officials believe it is the most practical move to safeguard the remainder of the PSL 10 and maintain momentum heading into the international calendar.
Further updates regarding revised fixtures and match timings are expected to be released by the PCB soon.
