HBL PSL X 2025 Matches Shifted to UAE Due to India-Pakistan War Tensions

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially confirmed that the remainder of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10 will be held in the United Arab Emirates. This critical decision comes as a result of escalating geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, which have raised serious security concerns across the region.

In light of the volatile situation, the PCB, after extensive consultations with government bodies, franchise stakeholders, and international partners, opted to shift the tournament to ensure the safety of players, officials, and fans. The league will now resume in the UAE, which has previously hosted several PSL editions and is well-equipped to manage high-profile cricketing events at short notice.

As part of this development, the PCB has announced that the following fixtures will be rescheduled accordingly:

  • Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi

  • Peshawar Zalmi vs Lahore Qalandars

  • Islamabad United vs Karachi Kings

  • Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators

  • Qualifier

  • Eliminator 1

  • Eliminator 2

  • Final
