6 days ago | 5 Views

Indian live streaming platform, Fancode, will no longer broadcast any of the remaining matches in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025. The decision was taken in the wake of the deadly terror attack in South Kashmir's Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives on Tuesday.

Fancode was the only official streaming platform for PSL matches in India. The platform aired the first 13 matches of Pakistan's premier T20 tournament. However, sources confirmed the development to Hindustan Times that amid the terror attack in Pahalgam, the OTT platform decided to stop airing any more PSL games. The site also removed all information about upcoming PSL matches in the season and clips from previous games in the season.

The move will significantly hit the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), with their viewership bound to witness a major dip.

What happened in Pahalgam?

On Tuesday, at the Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, militants executed one of the most lethal assaults in the Kashmir Valley since the 2019 Pulwama incident, where 40 CRPF personnel died. Militants opened fire on civilians, resulting in the deaths of at least 26 individuals and injuring several more. The Resistance Front (TRF), which is associated with the banned Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist organization, claimed responsibility for the attack. This incident has provoked widespread condemnation globally.

Earlier, on Wednesday, the BCCI released a statement to denounce the "horrific and cowardly" assault. "The cricketing community is profoundly shocked and sorrowed by the heartbreaking loss of innocent lives in the horrific terror attack at Pahalgam yesterday," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia remarked.

"On behalf of the BCCI, while denouncing this horrific and cowardly act with the strongest possible words, I convey our deepest sympathies to the affected families and prayers for the souls we have lost. In sharing their sorrow and grief, we stand united during this time of tragedy," he continued.

On Wednesday, during the IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, all players and match officials donned a black armband and observed a minute's silence to honor the victims of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The match also featured no cheerleaders or fireworks. No music was played between balls as the sightscreen displayed "Let's all stand for peace and humanity. "
