Rishad Hossain Statement: There has been tension between India and Pakistan for the last few days. Due to this, the Indian Premier League 2025 has been postponed for a week in India.

However, they had to endure a lot amid this tension. This has been revealed by Bangladeshi spinner Rishad Hossain. He told how foreign players were living in fear and Daryl Mitchell even said that he would not go to Pakistan again.

He further said that when Tom Curran came to know that the airport was closed after reaching Dubai, he started crying like a child and two-three people together took care of him. ‘Rishad told that he breathed a sigh of relief only after reaching Dubai. My family could not sleep for the last few nights.
Let us tell you that Rishad is a part of the Lahore Qalandars team in PSL 2025. The players participating in the tournament were brought to Dubai before Pakistan, as it was revealed that the remaining matches of PSL 10 would be organized here. But this could not happen, due to which the PCB has postponed the tournament indefinitely.
Foreign players have returned to their respective countries via connecting flights from Dubai itself. After Rishad’s revelation, it will be interesting to see whether he remains a part of the league or PCB takes any action against him.
