After rising cross-border tensions following the Pahelgam terrorist assault, all of the experienced Indian crew members on the PCB roster are expected to be changed, potentially endangering the PSL coverage in the days ahead.

There are plans to replace them.Engineers, production managers, cameramen, and player-tracking specialists—all Indian nationals—make up the broadcast and production team, which makes sure the PSL is covered smoothly. All Indian nationals in Pakistan should depart within the next 48 hours, the National Security Council declared following a meeting in Islamabad on Thursday.According to the source, the possibility of replacing the Indian nationals in the crew as soon as possible was considered by PCB and the conglomerate that owned the PSL.
According to the source, the crew’s Indian members have also been instructed to limit their travel until they are able to depart Pakistan.
