Just hours after announcing the relocation of the Pakistan Super League to the United Arab Emirates due to mounting cross-border tensions, the Pakistan Cricket Board on Friday confirmed the indefinite postponement of the tournament.

In an official statement, the PCB said, "The decision to postpone has been taken pursuant to advice received from the Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif who has kept in view the reckless aggression from India that has escalated to a point where national attention and sentiments are rightly focused on the courageous efforts of the Armed Forces of Pakistan who are vociferously upholding the sovereignty of our beloved Pakistan."
