PSL to continue despite India attacks

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday vowed to continue holding the remaining matches of the Pakistan Super League despite India’s attack and further escalation in the hostilities between the two countries.

Five matches of the League phase as well as the four play-offs remain in the PSL’s tenth edition.

Sources told Telecomasia.net that there are chances that the play-off matches including the final scheduled for Lahore could be shifted to either Karachi or Rawalpindi due to Lahore’s close proximity to Indian border.

Despite some of the 37 foreign players showing reservation over their security, Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement the League will continue as schedule with a match between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators in Rawalpindi.

Sources told Telecomasia.net some of the foreign players especially Australians and New Zealanders have shown reservation over security in the wake of Indian attacks. Sources said some withdrawals of the players are not out of question.

“David Warner, Mitchell Owen, Riley Meredith and Ben Dwarshuis are from Australia while New Zealand’s Finn Allen, Mark Chapman, Tim Siefert and Kane Williamson are in Pakistan and have shown reservations but PCB have convinced them of foolproof security arrangements,” said sources.
