The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to relocate all remaining matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 to Karachi due to increasing tensions with India. As a result, 27th match between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has been called off and will be rescheduled in Karachi.
According to Daily Pakistan, the decision was reached during an emergency meeting held on Wednesday at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, attended by PSL franchise owners and top law enforcement officials.
This high-level gathering was called amid rising security concerns, as the tournament enters a crucial phase. After thorough consultations with all stakeholders, the PCB concluded that moving the rest of the league to Karachi is the most viable option to avoid disruptions.
Before the decision, Pak X Users had claimed that a drone attack took place near Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium hours before Peshawar Zalmi Vs Karachi Kings PSL 2025 Match.
Accoding to the report, sources indicate that the decision was also influenced by the upcoming T20I home series against Bangladesh. The PCB is keen to avoid any security-related issues that could jeopardize the international fixtures on the horizon.
Will sudden shift of PSL 2025 matches have logistical issues?
While the sudden shift poses logistical hurdles, officials remain confident that Karachi can successfully host the remainder of the competition. The city’s security arrangements and infrastructure are being rapidly mobilized to accommodate the league’s new schedule. The PCB is expected to announce updated fixtures and match timings for Karachi in the coming days.
