ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), in consultation with Sri Lanka Cricket, has postponed the last two 50-over matches of the Pakistan Shaheenz-Sri Lanka A series due to political activity in the federal capital.
The final two matches were scheduled to be played on Wednesday and Friday at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Both boards will collaborate to finalize new dates to complete the series.
The Shaheens lead the series, having won both the four-day matches 1-0 and the 50-over opener on Monday by 108 runs.
This development comes at a time when Islamabad is witnessing violence with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protesters clashing with law enforcement agencies (LEAs).
The protesters, who marched towards the capital under the leadership of PTI founder Imran Khan’s wife and other senior leaders, sought the release of their jailed leader among other demands.
Earlier in the day, the Home Ministry issued a notification based on Article 245, which allows the army to help maintain order and deal with miscreants with an iron hand.
The notification also gives the army the authority to impose curfews wherever necessary to reduce chaos.
