The PSL is set to resume from Saturday after it was postponed following a series of attacks by India and Pakistan last week, with Australian David Warner vowing to return.

The 8 May match between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings was postponed last Thursday after a drone attack hit a street adjacent to Rawalpindi Stadium.

The PSL was initially going to relocate to the UAE before it was postponed on Friday.

But with both countries agreeing to a ceasefire, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi said in a post on X: “The PSL 2025 will resume on 17 May, with the final on 25 May. The league will pick up from where it left off, six teams with zero fear,”

The four remaining group games will take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, with the playoffs and final in Lahore.

Thirty-seven foreign players were involved in the 10th edition of the PSL, which started in Karachi from 11 April.

Former Australian opener Warner confirmed to The Sydney Morning Herald his plans to return and play the remaining matches for the Karachi Kings.

However, Pakistan media reported eight New Zealand players involved in the PSL, including former captain Kane Williamson were reluctant to return despite being assured of security arrangements.

Across the border, the IPL is also due to restart from Saturday after being postponed over the India-Pakistan conflict.
