Pakistan Faces Fresh Embarrassment As UAE Likely To SLAM Door On PCB's Plan To Host PSL X In Dubai

The (PCB) has encountered a significant obstacle in its plan to host the remaining matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) X in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). According to inputs from ANI, the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) is unlikely to approve the hosting of the PSL matches in the UAE due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan.

The ECB's apprehensions stem from potential security risks and diplomatic implications of hosting the PSL matches. The board is concerned that allowing the PSL to proceed on Emirati soil could be perceived as tacit support for the PCB, potentially straining the ECB's strategic relationship with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
