England National Cricket Team batter Sam Billings, who is playing for Lahore Qalandars in the PSL 2025, had a decent time in the league before the tournament was suspended. He played handy knocks for his team and helped them win crucial games as well.

Babar Azam and Sam Billings would be hoping to turn things around when the PSL 2025 resumes
Both Babar Azam and Billings would be hoping to turn things around when the PSL 2025 resumes. The league is all set to resume on 17th May, as was confirmed by the Pakistan Cricket Board. The tournament was postponed due to the cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan.
The remaining four games of the PSL 2025 will be taking place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, with the playoffs and final in Lahore. Quetta Gladiators are at the top of the points table in the league with 6 wins, while Karachi Kings are second with 5 victories in the 8 games.
