The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has assured that all travel arrangements are in place for overseas players ahead of PSL 2026, despite Gulf conflicts and tensions near Pakistan’s Afghanistan border. The 11th edition, starting March 26, will feature top domestic talent and an increased number of international players, particularly from Australia, with their participation confirmed by PCB insiders.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has dismissed concerns over the travel plans of overseas players for the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026, assuring fans and franchises that all arrangements are in place despite ongoing conflicts in the Gulf region and heightened tensions along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan.
The 11th edition of the PSL is scheduled to begin on March 26, promising an action-packed season that will showcase the country’s top domestic talent alongside an increased number of international players, particularly from Australia.
A PCB insider refuted reports that Australian cricketers had reservations about travelling to Pakistan. “All travel arrangements and plans are in place and we will have all the Australian players who have signed for the PSL 11 start arriving from next week,” the source said, highlighting the board’s confidence in hosting international talent safely.
Recent media reports had suggested that the Australian government had advised its players against travelling to Peshawar, where just one PSL match is scheduled, due to the city’s proximity to the Afghanistan border. The PCB source, however, emphasized that the board has successfully navigated bigger challenges in the past and is fully prepared for this year’s tournament.
