PCB announces PSL postponement hours after Dubai shift plan

Amid escalating border tensions between India and Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the postponement of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). PCB’s decision came just hours after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suspended the Indian Premier League (IPL) for a week, and also a few hours after the Pakistan board disclosed plans to move the remainder of the PSL 2025 matches to Dubai. “The decision to postpone has been taken pursuant to advice received from the Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif,” the PCB said in a statement. ECB nudged to reject PSL matches? Meanwhile, it can be confirmed that the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) has turned down the PCB’s request to host the remaining PSL matches. Whether this decision was influenced by an Indian nudge remains speculative, but the ECB categorically refused to offer the Dubai International Stadium as a venue. Reportedly, there were also disagreements over hosting fees and Abu Dhabi was out of question, which ultimately compelled the PCB to postpone the eight remaining PSL games.

BCCI hopeful of swift IPL 2025 resumption amid border tensions

Since the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the suspension of the IPL, the rumour mills have gone into overdrive speculating about a possible window to complete the remaining matches of season 18. August, when India are to tour Bangladesh, and September, when the uncertain Asia Cup is scheduled, are being identified as potential options. But ask the right people in the BCCI, and they might point to a timeline that is not beyond May. “We have suspended the league for one week. We are not looking beyond that at this stage,” a highly-placed source in the BCCI told Cricbuzz on Friday (May 9) night. “We are serious about it. Watch out for the next three days.” Verbatim the BCCI statement reads like this: “The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to suspend the remainder of the ongoing TATA IPL 2025 with immediate effect for one week. Further updates regarding the new schedule and venues of the tournament will be announced in due course after a comprehensive assessment of the situation in consultation with relevant authorities and stakeholders.” If one were to closely consider that detailed statement, it could suggest that the BCCI is hopeful, or perhaps quietly confident, that the border tensions, which led to the suspension, might ease in the near future. In any case, it reflects a positive outlook. The board plans to complete the remaining 16 matches within a tight 12-day window, with its focus firmly on the current month. Should there be a ceasefire in the border in the next few days – which of course is the prerequisite for the IPL to resume – the board will fast-track the schedule with few double headers. However, if tensions do not ease soon, the situation could well be deemed a force majeure. For the record, the decision was taken at the Governing Council, which met briefly at around 10.45 am online, on Friday. But it is not difficult to see that the government has been consulted. There remains a serious question mark over whether overseas players, many of whom are either already departing or set to leave soon, would return if the league resumes within a week. However, the BCCI views this as a matter for the franchises to handle. At this stage, the BCCI is surely not looking at an August window (by cancelling the tour of Bangladesh) which will overlap with The Hundred (nine Englishmen are part of various IPL squads). The English league will run this year from August 5 to 31. A September window will clash with the Caribbean Premier League (currently there are eight West Indians involved in the IPL) which is from August 14 to September 21. It is not unprecedented for the CPL to accommodate a BCCI request and alter its dates but at this stage the Indian board is not looking that far, whether or not the Asia Cup takes place. The BCCI went on to say that the nation’s sovereignty is more important than cricket. “While cricket remains a national passion, there is nothing greater than the Nation and its sovereignty, integrity, and security of our country. The BCCI remains firmly committed to support all efforts that safeguard India and will always align its decisions in the best interest of the nation.” Meanwhile, the IPL teams – Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, production crew and officials reached Delhi by train. The BCCI kept the whole operation of their evacuation from Dharamsala totally under wraps. All of them were taken in buses to Jalandhar where they boarded the Vande Bharat Train.

ICC to determine six-team roster for Olympic Games: LA28

The LA28 Organising Committee has stated that the qualification process for the Games will be determined by the respective International Federations (IFs). This clarification comes a day after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed cricket’s inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics – with six teams each in the men’s and women’s categories. “Organizing committees like LA28 aren’t responsible for team qualifications in any sport, those are always handled by the IF,” Cassey Wasserman, the chairman of LA 2028, told Cricbuzz on Thursday, leaving the process of selecting the teams in the hands of the International Cricket Council (ICC). The LA28 boss was responding to a query from this website regarding the criteria for team selection for the Olympics. There was also a specific question about whether the United States teams would automatically qualify for the Games by virtue of being the hosts. His response remained the same. With only six teams set to compete at the Games, the ICC faces a serious challenge. Whether the spots will be determined by team rankings, continental representation, or through a qualifying tournament is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks. The possibility of having a qualifier, of course, is remote given the crammed international calendar. As reported by Cricbuzz earlier in the day, the ICC officials have converged in Zimbabwe for a four-day meeting and this website can confirm that there was a discussion on the issue in the Harare conclave on Thursday. The matter will be further taken up in the following days and weeks, including the issue of automatic qualification for the host teams. It is still unclear whether an England team or a combined Great Britain side will take part in the Games. Similarly, it remains to be seen whether a single Caribbean island will participate or if a combined West Indies team will be fielded. “It’s still undecided what process will be used to determine the qualifiers,” a Cricket West Indies (CWI) official told this website. Meanwhile, the ICC conclave continues in Zimbabwe. The Chief Executives Committee (CEC) met on Thursday and a few committee meetings will be held in Harare following which the gathering will shift to Victoria Falls for the Board Meeting, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday

Neeraj Chopra crowned as the world’s best male javelin thrower of 2024 by a prestigious U.S. track and field magazine.

India’s Paris Olympics silver medallist Neeraj Chopra has been named the best male javelin thrower in the world in 2024 by globally-renowned American magazine ‘Track and Field News’. The 27-year-old Chopra, who was beaten by Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem for the Olympic gold medal in August last year, pipped two-time world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada for the top spot in the 2024 rankings published by the California-based magazine. Nadeem was ranked fifth as he competed in only one event in 2024 besides the Olympic Games where he came up with a monster throw of 92.97m as against 89.45m of Chopra. He finished fourth in Paris Diamond League. Founded in 1948, the magazine, which claims itself to be ‘The Bible Of The Sport’, publishes world and American rankings every year. The magazine is considered an authority in global track and field circles. Chopra was also the top-ranker in the men’s javelin throw rankings of 2023. He did not win any Diamond League event in 2024, finishing second in Doha, Lausanne and Brussels. His only major win last year was at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland. “Reigning leader Neeraj Chopra vs. 2022’s winner Anderson Peters for the top spot was likewise not clear-cut. Chopra didn’t score any DL wins, but was at 3–2 narrowly ahead of Peters,” the magazine wrote. “Peters, for his part, picked up a trio of DL wins. Razor-thin edge to the Indian for his better Paris placing,” it added. Peters, also 27, had finished third behind Nadeem and Chopra in Paris Olympics. He had won three DL events in 2024 — in Lausanne, Zurich and Brussels. Regarding Nadeem, the magazine wrote: “What do you do with an Olympic gold medallist who had only one other meet, and finished 4th in that one? “Thus it was decided that Arshad Nadeem could be no higher than No. 5 even though he climbed to No 6 on the all-time list.”

World Chess Championship 2024 Game 10: Gukesh plays out easy draw against Ding Liren, scores remain tied at 5-5

Indian challenger D Gukesh yet again proved equal to the task with defending champion Ding Liren of China as the 10th game of the World Chess Championship match between them ended in a draw without much excitement here on Saturday. It was by far the easiest of the game with black pieces for Gukesh as the position played itself out of a London system game wherein Ding Liren took no risks and was also apparently happy with the drawn result. Liren continued with his London system in the opening and came with a slight change early that left the pawn structure symmetrical. The tactic might have worked on another day but Gukesh for once decided not to press hard as black out of an equal position. Gukesh, the younger ever challenger, had his task cut out and he passed all the tests with flying colours. Before the start of the 10th game, Liren had three white games against Gukesh’s three but now it’s a level playing field with just four more games to go. For Gukesh, the hardest decision was to go for a completely equal position on move 11 and even though the position had occurred a few times before in Grandmaster games, it did not look like either the Indian or Liren was aware of what had happened in those games. It did not take long for the world to decide when Liren went for a series of exchanges, including the queen, that the game was heading towards a draw. However, as per the contract, both players were still obliged to play 40 moves before agreeing to split the point.
