The remaining part of the Pakistan Super League is to be held without hockey and DRS technologies because most of the technicians who handle that aspect are from India and are not expected to return after the recent struggle between the two countries. PSL was postponed indefinitely after starting a missile attack on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan in Pakistan and Pakistan captured Jammu and Kashmir in a fortnight after the Pahgam terror attack on 22 April in which 26 people were killed. The PCB tried to organize the remaining PSL in the UAE but the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) rejected the proposal.
The PCB continues to face challenges in completing the 10th edition of PSL after its resumption after a conflict with India.
According to a reliable source close to a franchise, the team manages and runs the HawkIE and DRS technology, it has not returned to Pakistan for the rest of the incident.
The source said, “Which means the last few matches of PSL will now be completed without any DRS which is a major setback for the boards and teams.”
The source said that no DRS would be available as the broadcaster mainly consists of Indian citizens.
He said that the league was suspended due to the conflict, the Indian citizens working for the broadcaster had left for the house and did not return due to the tension situation.
The franchise has also faced issues of foreign players replacing, some of which opted to leave for the IPL, including Mitchell Owens and Kusal Mendis.
On Thursday, Islamabad United Side, which is to play in Eliminator 2 on Friday, suffered a major setback as his opener, Alex Hales of England also flew back home.
