The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 has been suspended indefinitely due to rising regional tensions and player safety concerns. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) made the announcement after consulting with key stakeholders and security agencies.
According to sources, the PSL management has advised all team franchises — including Lahore Qalandars — to retain their overseas players in Dubai and discourage them from participating in unofficial matches during the break.

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.
