Pakistan Bans IPL Streaming in Retaliation to India’s PSL Block

Pakistan has imposed a complete ban on streaming the Indian Premier League (IPL) online, a direct response to India’s earlier prohibition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The decision, driven by escalating tensions following the April 22 Pahalgam incident, reflects the deepening rift between the two nations, closing avenues for sports and cultural exchange.

As confirmed by local streaming services, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued a directive prohibiting IPL broadcasts on any app or online platform in Pakistan. The move mirrors India’s April 22 ban on PSL streaming via FanCode, which halted PSL 10 transmissions and removed related content after the Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, where 26 tourists died. Pakistan retaliated by expelling 23 Indian broadcasters from the country.

Pakistani officials defended the IPL ban as a necessary countermeasure to India’s “unilateral and unjust actions,” aiming to maintain a balanced response amid deteriorating bilateral relations.

India attributed the Pahalgam incident to Pakistan without evidence, prompting severe measures like suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, halting trade, sealing the Wagah border, and ordering Indian citizens to leave Pakistan within 48 hours. Pakistan denied involvement and called for a neutral investigation, but diplomatic channels have failed to ease the standoff, further straining sports and cultural ties.

Pakistan’s ban on IPL streaming, in response to India’s PSL prohibition, marks a new low in bilateral relations, fueled by the Pahalgam incident. As sports and diplomacy falter, the rift between the two nations widens, leaving cricket fans on both sides caught in the crossfire. Urgent dialogue is needed to restore ties and prevent further regional instability.
