PSL 10 likely to resume this week amid discussions on venue, player availability

KARACH: The remainders of Pakistan Super League 10 matches are tentatively scheduled to be played from May 17 to 25, with discussions ongoing over venue and player availability.

Franchises have recommended holding all remaining matches at a single venue, either Lahore or Rawalpindi, to ease logistical challenges. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has, however, proposed restarting in Rawalpindi and hosting the final in Lahore.

Meanwhile, teams are confirming participation with their foreign players. While some have agreed to return, franchises and the PSL management are working on contingency plans if the full roster isn’t met.

Options include a replacement draft or relaxing the league’s mandatory foreign-player rule for the remaining games.

A final decision is expected by tonight.

The PCB had announced the indefinite postponement of the remaining eight matches of the PSL Season 10 in light of the deteriorating regional security situation.

The postponement came when the PSL 10 was in its final stage, with only eight matches remaining.

After 27 matches, Quetta Gladiators, already qualified for the playoffs, led 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 position, 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 are in fifth position with eight points from four wins in nine matches.

Multan Sultans have been eliminated from playoff contention after securing only one win and suffering eight defeats in their nine matches.
