The Pakistan Cricket Board has shifted the remaining eight matches of its Pakistan Super League Twenty20 competition to the United Arab Emirates following rising tensions between India and Pakistan.

The PCB confirmed the relocation to Dubai in a statement released early Friday (May 9, 2025), citing growing concerns among overseas players and the need to prioritise their safety. Once logistical arrangements are completed, the final schedule, including revised dates and venues, will be announced.

Rawalpindi, Multan and Lahore were due to host the remaining games.

“The PCB has always stood by the position that politics and sports need to be kept apart,” PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who is also Interior Minister in the Pakistan government, said in a statement.

“The PCB has decided to shift the remaining matches (of PSL) to UAE so that the domestic as well as foreign cricketers, who are our precious guests, can be saved,” Mr. Naqvi said.
