The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 is set to resume from Saturday after it was postponed following a series of attacks by India and Pakistan last week, with Australian David Warner vowing to return.
The May 8 match between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings in the PSL 2025 was postponed last Thursday after a drone attack hit a street adjacent to Rawalpindi Stadium.
The PSL 2025 was initially going to relocate to the United Arab Emirates before it was postponed on Friday. But with both countries agreeing to a ceasefire, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the PSL will resume from May 17.
“The PSL 2025 will resume on May 17, with the final on May 25. The League will pick up from where it left off, six teams with zero fear,” PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi said in a post on X.
The four remaining group games will take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, with the playoffs and final in Lahore, the PSB said in a release. Thirty-seven foreign players were involved in the tenth edition of the PSL, which started in Karachi from April 11.
Former Australian opener Warner confirmed to the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper his plans to return and play the remaining matches for the Karachi Kings. However, Pakistan media reported eight New Zealand players involved in the PSL, including former captain Kane Williamson were reluctant to return despite being assured of security arrangements.
Across the border, the Indian Premier League is also due to restart from Saturday after being postponed over the India-Pakistan conflict.
Uncertainty had also loomed over Bangladesh`s scheduled T20I series in Pakistan. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had stated that it is in `active and ongoing discussions` with the PCB regarding the tour, which is set to begin on May 21 with matches in Lahore and Faisalabad.
The three-day President`s Trophy Grade II began in mid-April and was set to conclude in the fourth week of May, with the final slated to start on May 22. The other two tournaments were also expected to run through the month of May.
