In response to escalating tensions between Pakistan and India following the recent Pahalgam attack, Pakistan has officially banned the broadcast of Indian Premier League (IPL) matches within the country. Sources confirmed that Pakistani viewers will no longer have access to live IPL coverage on television channels or streaming platforms.
Previously, IPL matches were available through various apps and broadcasters in Pakistan, attracting a sizable cricket-loving audience. The latest move cuts off that access entirely, marking a significant escalation in cultural and sporting disconnect between the two nations.

Meanwhile, Indian authorities have reportedly blocked social media accounts of prominent Pakistani cricketers, adding fuel to the ongoing discord. According to Indian media reports, the accounts of former Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan have become inaccessible to users within India.
These developments underline the deepening strain on bilateral relations, with sporting and digital exchanges now caught in the political crossfire.
