PSL 2025 to resume after India-Pakistan ceasefire

The May 8 match between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League was postponed last Thursday

Pakistan's Twenty20 League is set to resume from Saturday after it was postponed following a series of attacks by India and Pakistan last week, with Australian David Warner vowing to return. 

The May 8 match between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League was postponed last Thursday after a drone attack hit a street adjacent to Rawalpindi Stadium.

The PSL was initially going to relocate to the United Arab Emirates before it was postponed Friday.

But with both countries agreeing to a ceasefire, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced the PSL will resume from Saturday.

"The PSL 2025 will resume on May 17, with the final on May 25. The League will pick up from where it left off, six teams with zero fear," PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi said in a post on X. 

The four remaining group games will take place at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, with the playoffs and final in Lahore, the PSB said in a release.

Thirty-seven foreign players were involved in the 10th edition of the PSL, which started in Karachi from April 11.

Former Australian opener Warner confirmed to the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper his plans to return and play the remaining matches for the Karachi Kings.

However, Pakistan media reported eight New Zealand players involved in the PSL, including former captain Kane Williamson were reluctant to return despite being assured of security arrangements.

Across the border, the Indian Premier League is also due to restart from Saturday after being postponed over the India-Pakistan conflict.
