PSL 2025 Restart is finally confirmed as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced that the Pakistan Super League will resume on May 17, 2025. The league had been suspended earlier due to escalating tensions along the India–Pakistan border.
In a post shared by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi on X (formerly Twitter) late Tuesday, he revealed the full revised schedule. According to the update, the PSL 2025 Restart will feature the remaining 4 league-stage matches in Rawalpindi and the playoffs and final in Lahore. The grand finale is scheduled for May 25.

Why the Suspension Happened
The PSL 2025 Restart was initially delayed after cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan led to a halt in all major sporting events in the region. PCB had tried to move the remaining matches to the UAE, but the Emirates Cricket Board declined to host the games, leading to an indefinite suspension.
Final Confirmation from PCB
On Tuesday night, Mohsin Naqvi finally confirmed the new timeline, stating:
“PSL 2025 will resume from May 17 and conclude with the final on May 25. We are committed to ensuring a safe and exciting end to the tournament.”
This decision ends weeks of uncertainty around the PSL 2025 Restart, giving hope to fans and players alike.
Remaining Matches Overview
- 4 League Matches: To be held in Rawalpindi
- 4 Playoff Matches including the Final: Scheduled in Lahore
This marks a crucial revival for the PSL after political instability halted its progress. Interestingly, the Indian Premier League (IPL), which was also affected by similar issues, is set to restart on the same date—May 17.
What This Means for Fans
The PSL 2025 Restart brings back the thrill of Pakistan’s premier T20 tournament at a time when fans were left wondering if the season would conclude at all. With the confirmation, ticket sales, player movements, and fan engagements are expected to ramp up quickly.
