Pahalgam Terror Attack Fallout: PSL Faces Major Setback After India-Pakistan Tensions Hit Broadcast Team. (PCB)
Pahalgam Terror Attack Fallout: Pakistan Super League (PSL) faced a significant setback, and the fate of the tournament was shrouded in jeopardy after the experienced Indian crew members in the PCB roster were set to be replaced following escalating cross-border tensions in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
"Since more than two dozen of the PSL's production and broadcast crew included Indian nationals, steps are being taken to replace them. The broadcast and production crew includes engineers, production managers, cameramen, player-tracking experts (all Indian nationals), who ensure a smooth coverage of the PSL," news agency PTI quoted a source as saying.
The National Security Council, after a meeting in Islamabad on Thursday, announced that all Indian nationals in Pakistan should leave the country in the next 48 hours.
The source said that PCB and the conglomerate, which held the rights to the PSL, had discussed the option of replacing the Indian nationals on the crew as soon as possible.
The source said the Indian nationals in the crew have also been told to restrict their movements until they can leave Pakistan.
Earlier in the day, live streaming platform Fancode also removed all contents related to the PSL from its website, leading to a complete blanket ban of PSL matches in India.
The PSL content on the platform now shows as 'Error'.
