Amid escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan, Australian cricket players and coaches participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Pakistan Super League (PSL) face growing uncertainty regarding their safety and the continuity of the tournaments.
Cricket Australia (CA) is taking vigilant measures, stating on Friday that it is keeping a close watch on the political climate in both nations. The board is maintaining constant communication with players, support staff, and relevant authorities, including the Australian Government, PCB, and BCCI, for real-time updates and guidance.
In light of the unrest, Indian officials are deliberating over the IPL's subsequent matches, while the PSL has already relocated its remaining matches, including the finals, to the United Arab Emirates. This move follows disruptions like Thursday's IPL match cancellation in Dharamsala due to a power outage. Australian players and coaches are prominently represented across various IPL and PSL teams.
