The PSL was halted on May 7 due to Indian missile and drone attacks on Pakistan, prompting safety concerns amid the Marka-e-Haq conflict, which ended with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire on May 10. The PCB’s swift rescheduling ensures the tournament’s completion, with all matches retaining original venues and timings (7:30 PM PKT, except the May 18 double-header).
