Ceasefire Influences PSL Strategy

Shortly after a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, PSL officials contacted team managements with fresh instructions. Teams were told to mentally prepare both foreign and local players for a potential resumption of the league — possibly under revised arrangements.

Possible Venue Shift to Rawalpindi/Islamabad

The PCB is currently exploring options to relocate the remaining PSL 2025 matches to Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Islamabad. Internal planning has already begun to facilitate this transition in case the tournament resumes soon.
