New Delhi: Tension has increased between India and Pakistan in the last few days. Meanwhile, continuous attacks are being carried out by Pakistan. On the other hand, India is also giving a retaliatory reply to Pakistan. Meanwhile, Pakistan Cricket Board had refused to shift PSL to United Arab Emirates i.e. UAE keeping security in mind. However, now UAE has refused to host PSL to Pakistan. Thus, due to UAE’s decision, Pakistan has risen to international level.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday decided to shift the remaining matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) to the United Arab Emirates due to tensions with India, due to which the foreign players participating in the tournament are worried. The PCB issued a statement on Friday morning saying that the last eight matches of the tournament will be played in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Earlier, it was to be organized in Rawalpindi, Multan and Lahore. According to the statement, the timetable of these matches will be shared at the scheduled time. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi had alleged that India had targeted the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in the recent attack inside Pakistan to spoil the PSL. However, the Indian Defense Ministry had clarified that only air defense radars and systems were targeted on Thursday after Pakistan attempted to attack 15 locations in the northern and western regions of India on Wednesday night.

Naqvi had claimed, “In view of the highly irresponsible and dangerous Indian action of targeting the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, which was clearly done to disrupt the ongoing Pakistan Super League, the PCB has decided to shift the remaining matches to the UAE.”
