Pakistan is likely to relocate its Twenty20 League to Dubai after several drone attacks by India including one outside Rawalpini cricket stadium left several people injured as both the nations have reached at the brink of war.
Peshawar Zalmi was due to play Karachi Kings at Rawalpindi stadium on Wednesday but the match has been rescheduled after a drone fell at the food street which is adjacent to the stadium. Pakistan said the attack left several people injured. The PCB will announce the revised date in due course.
According to PCB, refunds for the VIP Gallery and enclosures tickets for the cancelled match can be obtained from TCS Express Centers, while tickets bought online will be automatically reimbursed in the accounts used at the time of booking.
An emergency meeting was held between all six franchise and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi where reservations from foreign players were put before Naqvi, also Pakistan's interior minister.
The meeting looked at the option of moving the remaining eight matches -- four league and as many play-offs -- to Karachi but foreign players were not ready to stay in Pakistan after negative security advice from several countries.
Thirty-seven foreign players were involved in the League. From England, Sam Billings, James Vince, Tom Curran, David Willey, Chris Jordan, Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Luke Wood are part of the PSL.
David Warner, Mitchell Owen, Riley Meredith, Ben McDermott, Max Bryant, Ashton Turner, Sean Abbott and Ben Dwarshuis are from Australia while New Zealand’s Finn Allen, Daryl Mitchlee, Michael Bracewell, Colin Munro, Mark Chapman, Tim Siefert, Kyle Jamieson and Kane Williamson are also in the League.
Others included West Indian Kyle Mayers, Jason Holder, Alzari Joseph, Akeal Hosein and Shai Hope, Bangladesh's Rishad Hossain and Nahid Rana, USA's Andries Gous, Sri Lankan Kusal Mendis and Kusal Prera, Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran, Ireland's Curtis Campher and Josh Little, Zimbabwe's Sikander Raza and Namibia's David Wiese.
England's Willy and Jordon have already arranged their return to Dubai after their team Multan Sultans failed to reach the play-offs while Australian and New Zealand players are not ready to stay in the country.
