PSL 2025 Postponed : The decision to postpone PSL 2025 came recently after the ECB rejected PCB’s request to conduct some matches from Rawalpindi, Multan, and Lahore to the UAE.

The ECB also refused to allow Pakistan to host matches in the UAE due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan. They said that allowing Pakistan to host matches in the UAE could affect their relations with the BCCI.

Earlier, the UAE had hosted IPL matches during the 2021 season, and UAE prioritized its diverse South Asian population’s harmony, avoiding friction. Due to these reasons, permission was not given to Pakistan.

Some foreign players, including a few from England, were also present there and were concerned about their safety. That is why the PCB tried to move the matches to Dubai, but this plan was also rejected.
