Members of the Qalandars team in Lahore, Rishad and Pacer Nahid Rana from Zalmi, Peshawar are the only Bangladeshi players participating in PSL 2025.
Leg-hands-on from Bangladesh Rishad Hossain recently shared some interesting insights about the experience of overseas players in the Pakistani Premier League in 2025 in the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan. According to Rishad, he and his foreign players smelled collective relief when they arrived in Dubai on Saturday after deciding to postpone the PSL. The Pakistan Cricket Committee made this decision in light of the escalating tensions between the two neighboring countries. It is worth noting that the Commission on Cricket Control of India (BCCI) has also suspended IPL 2025 for a week.
In addition, Rishad revealed that New Zealand’s multi-purpose batting all-rounder Darly Mitchell said he was reluctant to return to Pakistan, especially in such turbulent circumstances. The emotions shared by overseas players, including Mitchell, are described as horror.
“Foreign players like Sam Billings, Daryl Mitchell, Kushal Perera, David Wiese, Tom Curran…everyone was very scared…Mitchell told me he would never go to Pakistan again, especially in this case, especially in this case. Overall, they were all frightened by the Rishad.”
He added: “He (Tom Curran) went to the airport but heard the airport was closed. Then he started crying like a kid, so it took two or three people to deal with him.”

Initially, discussions on relocation of PSL 2025 to Dubai were rejected by the UAE Cricket Committee. However, the PCB ultimately decided to abandon the plan. Nevertheless, all foreign players participating in PSL 2025 were quickly shipped to the UAE and then arranged for them to connect their flights to their respective destinations.
“We have arrived in Dubai after Alhamdulillah overcomes the crisis and I feel good now,” Risard said. “We heard about a missile hitting the airport 20 minutes after we took off from the airport. The news is scary and sad, and now we feel relieved after we arrive in Dubai,” he added that his family had some sleepless nights. ”
