IMG Reliance had covered seven matches of the 2019 edition of PSL before pulling out following the terror attack that killed 44 CRPF troopers in Pulwama on February 14, elevating tensions between India and Pakistan.

The conglomerate had come into the agreement with the PCB in January 2019 in a deal that was reportedly worth $36 million.
