The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has suspended ongoing domestic cricket tournaments, including President's Trophy Grade-II.
Other affected events include the the Regional Intra-District Challenge Cup and the Inter-District U19 One-Day tournament.
The board confirmed in an official statement released that these competitions will resume from their current stages once the situation stabilises.
It is currently being reported that PCB is looking at options to resume these tournaments, as well as HBL PSL, after the ceasefire was officially confirmed by Donal Trump.
This development follows the PCB’s earlier decision to postpone the remaining eight matches of HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10.
“The decision to postpone has been taken based on the advice of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif,” read the official statement.
“The nation’s attention is rightly focused on the bravery and sacrifices of Pakistan’s Armed Forces who are defending our sovereignty.”
Officials also extended gratitude to players, franchises, sponsors, broadcasters, and staff involved in the PSL, acknowledging their role in ensuring the smooth progress of the league so far.
“While cricket unites the country and brings happiness to millions, it is appropriate to pause when the nation faces such serious external threats,” the statement continued.
The PCB reiterated its commitment to player welfare, particularly that of overseas cricketers, and pledged to resume cricket once the environment is deemed safe.
