 Season 10 matches in Bangladesh.){kind=link}
Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has come forward with an interesting suggestion to host the remaining Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10 matches in Bangladesh.
Following directives from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the PCB suspended the remaining eight matches, citing concerns over India’s “reckless aggression” and rising regional tensions.
There were reports about PCB hosting the remaining matches in Dubai, however, Basit Ali made a strong case for Bangladesh to host future PSL matches if regional issues persist.

“If future tournaments face similar disruptions, please don’t move them to Dubai. Consider Bangladesh,” he said. “Their stadiums are always packed—even for club matches. It’s a nation full of cricket lovers.”
Why Bangladesh Could be a Smart Move
Let’s break it down:
- Cricket-crazy crowd? Check.
- Proximity? Closer than UAE.
- Cheaper operations? Likely.
- Mutual benefit? Absolutely.
For the PSL, which thrives on crowd energy, a full Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Mirpur could do wonders, much more than a half-empty Dubai arena.

PSL 10: What’s Next?
While Basit Ali’s idea is for the future, the present is still hanging by a thread.
Post-ceasefire, there’s a faint glimmer of hope that the remaining matches could still be played in Rawalpindi, with Islamabad as the fallback city. The PSL administration has already:
- Instructed franchises to keep their foreign players stationed in Dubai
- Advised local players to be on standby
- Started efforts to gather teams in Islamabad
Basically, all eyes are on a green light for Rawalpindi to host the final leg of the tournament.
