00:10The suspension takes into immediate effect starting on Friday.
00:30The board of control for cricket said they are concerned about the safety of the players and took into account whether it is appropriate to continue organizing events during such a volatile time.

00:57The league began its current season on March 22, and the final fixture was scheduled to be for May 25, with matches being spread over 13 venues across India.
01:09In Pakistan, the National Cricket Board also announced that it will move the final eight matches of its Pakistan Super League to the United Arab Emirates in a bid to protect the players.
01:21Pakistani and Indian forces have been clashing in the Kashmir region since early this week.
01:26India attacked its targets in Pakistan, which then retaliated by shelling Indian cities and towns, following a deadly terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam last month.
