The HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 is expected to resume between May 16 and 18, with preparations underway to finalise the schedule for the tournament.
Sources indicate that these dates are being considered for the continuation of the remaining fixtures.
The PSL administration is in ongoing discussions with relevant stakeholders to ensure smooth planning and successful execution of the matches.
Although most overseas players, who traveled to Dubai after the PSL was initially scheduled to resume, have returned to their respective countries, efforts are being made to bring foreign players back into the teams.
The PSL administration remains optimistic about finalising the schedule soon, with sources suggesting that an official announcement could be made today.
Should the matches resume on May 16, all teams are expected to assemble in Islamabad by the night of May 14.
The postponement occurred when PSL 10 was in its final stage, with only eight matches remaining.
The delay was caused by cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan, and following the announced ceasefire, it is most likely that both PSL 10 and IPL 2025 will resume in the coming days.
Following 27 matches, Quetta Gladiators, who have already qualified for the playoffs, currently lead the points table with six wins, two losses, and one no-result from nine matches.
Karachi Kings are in second place with 10 points, having secured five wins and three losses in eight matches. Defending champions Islamabad United sit in third, also with 10 points, following five wins and four losses from nine games.
Lahore Qalandars are in fourth place with nine points, having secured four wins, four losses, and one no-result. Peshawar Zalmi occupy the fifth position with eight points, earned from four wins in nine matches.
Multan Sultans have unfortunately been eliminated from playoff contention, with only one win and eight defeats from their nine matches.
Resumption of domestic cricket
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday confirmed the resumption of domestic cricket events, which had been temporarily suspended due to the prevailing security situation in the country.
Starting today, the Regional Intra-District Challenge Cup and the Inter-District U19 One-Day Tournament will continue, ensuring that grassroots-level cricket remains active.
The President's Trophy Grade II, which was also postponed, will resume on May 14.
The quarter-finals are scheduled for May 1921, followed by the semi-finals from May 2426. The final will be played from May 28 to 31, marking the conclusion of the tournament.
Earlier, the PCB had suspended several domestic tournaments, including the President's Trophy Grade II, the Regional Intra-District Challenge Cup, and the Inter-District U19 One-Day Tournament, due to escalating security concerns.
On May 10, the board announced that these competitions would resume from the point they were paused, with updated schedules to follow.
