Decision Made in Consultation with Security Authorities
A senior PCB official, speaking anonymously, confirmed that the decision was made after consultations with regional cricket associations and security agencies.
“The safety of players and officials remains our top priority. Given the current uncertainty and movement restrictions in certain areas, it is not feasible to continue the competitions at this time,” the official explained.
Heightened Security in Affected Areas
The ongoing border situation has prompted increased security measures across several districts, particularly in Punjab and Azad Jammu & Kashmir, with heightened military presence reported in these regions.
