Cricket enthusiasts who rely on fantasy platforms to engage with the Pakistan Super League 2025 have found themselves unable to create teams or participate in contests across most major apps. Here's why you can no longer access PSL matches on your favorite fantasy cricket platforms.

Dream11 Silently Removes PSL Contests

Leading fantasy sports giant Dream11 has quietly pulled all Pakistan Super League 2025 matches from its platform. Users searching for PSL fixtures on the app or website now find zero results, with all ongoing and upcoming contests disappearing without formal announcement. This significant move follows the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 innocent tourists lost their lives.

Industry-Wide Response: Fantasy Platforms Unite

Dream11 isn't alone in this stance. Multiple fantasy cricket platforms including Fantoss have followed suit, removing PSL contests from their offerings. This coordinated action across the fantasy cricket ecosystem sends a clear message of solidarity with the victims and aligns with India's broader diplomatic position.

Streaming Services Also Affected

The impact extends beyond fantasy platforms. FanCode, which held official digital streaming rights for PSL in India, has suspended all coverage of the tournament. Users attempting to access PSL content on FanCode now encounter "403 Forbidden" errors, with all match videos and highlights removed from circulation.

Government Actions Trigger Sports Response

These developments in the fantasy and streaming space come in the wake of stringent diplomatic measures implemented by the Indian government. Following the Pahalgam attack, authorities suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, closed the Attari border, ordered Pakistani nationals to leave India within a week, and revoked SAARC visa privileges.

Cricket Community Stands United

The cricket fraternity has demonstrated solidarity throughout this period. During IPL 2025 matches following the incident, players observed moments of silence and wore black armbands honouring the victims. BCCI officials have reaffirmed India's stance against bilateral cricket with Pakistan, emphasizing the sporting world's response to the tragedy.

OneCricket's Position

As part of our commitment to standing with the nation during this difficult time, OneCricket will cease all coverage and content related to PSL 2025. We join the cricket community in mourning the tragic loss of innocent lives in Pahalgam and express our deepest condolences to the families affected.

While we remain dedicated to bringing you comprehensive cricket coverage from around the world, we believe some principles transcend sport. Our thoughts remain with those impacted by this senseless violence as we hope for healing and peace in the days ahead.
