The ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been suspended while the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has been postponed as the conflict between India and Pakistan rages on. These decisions could end up disrupting Bangladesh's cricket calendar in the coming months and this year's Asia Cup.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) today announced that the ongoing season of IPL was suspended "with immediate effect for one week," a day after the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was called off midway in Dharamsala, which is less than 200 kilometres away from Jammu where both sides are exchanging heavy artillery.

A total of 16 matches are left in the season, and although BCCI has not announced an official resumption date, it is reportedly exploring a window later in the year.

According to Times of India, India is unlikely to participate in the Asia Cup or send the Indian team for their scheduled tour of Bangladesh, opening up the August-September window which they would then use to complete the IPL season if the need arises.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday night announced that the remaining eight games of the 10th edition of the PSL have been postponed, a day after relaying that these matches would be played in the UAE. 

As per ESPNCricinfo, PCB began the process of flying players to the UAE on Thursday. Nahid Rana and Rishad Hossain, the two Bangladeshi players taking part in the PSL, left for the UAE tonight alongside two other Bangladeshi journalists. They will then board a flight to Bangladesh from the UAE. 

"In this situation, a collective effort is being made to find a solution. A meeting was held yesterday [Thursday] and they will try to ensure that at some point today [Friday] all the cricketers are moved from Pakistan to a safe place," BCB president Faruque Ahmed said in a video message today.

Also, PSL's postponement was based on the situation in Pakistan worsening, according to PCB's press release provided today, and that means the five-match T20 series between hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh, originally slated to begin on May 25 in Faisalabad, may also not see the light of day.  

The Tigers were supposed to land in Pakistan on May 21. The BCB, however, is not keen on making any decisions on the series yet, given the unprecedented circumstances and the fact that Pakistan are the hosts and any postponement or cancellation call will come from their side. The main priority for BCB has been to move Nahid and Rishad out of Pakistan alongside two Bangladesh journalists covering the PSL.
