With the restoration of calm following the recent ceasefire between Pakistan and India, hopes have risen for the revival of sporting events in the country. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has accelerated efforts to resume the remaining matches of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 on home soil.
PSL 2025 had been disrupted due to escalating hostilities, resulting in the postponement of eight key matches, including the final. However, in light of the recent de-escalation and improved security environment, the PCB has initiated consultations with franchise owners to chart a path forward.
According to insiders, the board is also actively working to secure the availability of foreign players, a crucial factor in resuming the league in Pakistan. A high-level meeting between PCB officials and franchise owners is expected soon to discuss logistics, security arrangements, and the participation of international players.
Tentative plans suggest that the remaining fixtures may be rescheduled in Rawalpindi and Lahore.
Previously, due to heightened tensions, the PSL was temporarily moved to Dubai, where a majority of foreign players had already gathered. With the situation stabilizing, efforts are now underway to bring these players back to Pakistan to complete the tournament.
Should all arrangements proceed smoothly, international cricket is likely to make a strong comeback in the country, much to the delight of local fans. The potential resumption of the PSL will not only reinvigorate the league but also mark a major boost for Pakistan’s sports and entertainment sectors.
PCB and franchise officials are optimistic that with collective efforts, the remaining matches of PSL 2025 can resume as per a revised schedule—restoring vibrancy to Pakistan’s cricket stadiums and delivering high-quality action to fans eagerly awaiting the sport’s return.
