However, Amid escalating tensions in the region following missile and drone exchanges between the two nations, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to halt the tournament.
With security concerns mounting and multiple players expressing reluctance to continue under the current circumstances, the PSL's continuation became untenable.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) moved swiftly to ensure the safe return of its players. Thanks to the board’s special efforts, both Rishad and Nahid are scheduled to arrive back in Bangladesh tomorrow.
