The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially announced that the remaining fixtures of the ongoing HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) X will now be held in the United Arab Emirates. This decision comes a day after the board rescheduled the Peshawar Zalmi vs Karachi Kings clash citing undisclosed reasons.
“The PCB has always believed that politics and sports must be kept separate. However, the safety of our domestic and foreign players is paramount,” Naqvi said. “We regret that our home fans will miss watching the action live in Pakistan.”
The eight remaining games — including group fixtures, the qualifier, two eliminators, and the final — will be rescheduled in the UAE. The revised match schedule, including venues and dates, will be shared soon.
The following matches are set to be rescheduled in the UAE:
-
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
The abrupt relocation follows the sudden postponement of the Zalmi-Kings fixture on May 8 in Rawalpindi. Ticket refunds for that match are being facilitated through TCS Express Centers and online payments will be reimbursed automatically.
The PCB expressed confidence in completing the tournament successfully abroad and urged fans and stakeholders to continue supporting the league.
