No DRS For Rest Of PSL 2025, Fans React With IPL Comparisons! News24 –

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 will continue without the use of the Decision Review System (DRS), following its earlier suspension due to escalating border tensions between India and Pakistan. According to a report by ESPNcricinfo, the Hawk-Eye technology team, responsible for operating the DRS, did not return to Pakistan after the tournament resumed, resulting in its continued absence for the remaining matches.

Despite the lack of DRS, the five fixtures played since the league’s restart have proceeded smoothly, without any significant controversy. So far, neither the Pakistan Super League management nor the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued an official statement regarding the system’s non-availability.

Rising diplomatic tensions between the two neighboring nations had disrupted the league’s logistics, causing schedule adjustments and operational challenges. In an effort to reduce travel and the movement of technical equipment, a match originally planned in Multan was relocated to Lahore. Additionally, the production crew had to extend their stay in the country to accommodate the modified calendar.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh T20I Series Adjusted

The Pakistan vs Bangladesh T20I series, initially slated to begin on May 25, the same day the PSL final is now scheduled—has also undergone changes. The PCB announced a revised itinerary, confirming that the series will now start three days later, on May 28, and be trimmed from five matches to three.

The Bangladesh team is expected to land in Lahore on May 25, where they will prepare for the series with training sessions scheduled for May 26 and 27. The matches will take place at the Gaddafi Stadium.

Notably, Pakistan will be without some of their most experienced campaigners for this series. Former captain Babar Azam, senior wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan, and star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi have all been rested from the 16-player squad named for the three T20Is.
