ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has been directed not to air Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 matches in Pakistan.

PEMRA has been barred from broadcasting matches in perspective of banning PSL 2019 matches in India.

A summary in this regard has been forwarded to the cabinet for approval.

As per details garnered, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) will ensure that ban on IPL coverage must be implemented in its true letters and spirit.

A seemingly possible ban means that IPL will lose multi-million dollar lucrative Pakistani market; second only to India in cricket world.

The decision has been taken against the backdrop of ban on coverage of matches of Pakistan Super League (PSL) in India.

Hello! My name is Farhan Abro, and I'm based here in Islamabad. My journey in Pakistan's digital media really kicked off when I founded INCPak back in 2012. We built it from the ground up, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, to be a trusted voice for independent journalism. But while media is a big part of who I am, I'm also shaped by a fascinating mix of other passions. I'm deeply into automotive, which gives me a technical edge, but I also find my artistic expression through landscape photography and music. And I'm always diving into the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence. Bringing all these different worlds together the technical, the creative, the journalistic, and the entrepreneurial—it really colors how I see things and approach every project. It gives me a distinct perspective that I try to bring to everything I share
