The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the suspension of the PSL on May 9, shortly after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to postpone the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for a week. Following the suspension, overseas players participating in the PSL were flown to the UAE.
"Alhamdulillah, we have reached Dubai after overcoming a crisis and I am feeling well now," Rishad told reporters at Dubai Airport.
Rishad and Nahid Rana were Bangladeshi cricketers in the PSL 2025 season. The leg-spinner represented Lahore Qalandars, while Nahid played for Peshawar Zalmi.

Rishad Hossain shared that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman had planned to host the remaining PSL matches in Karachi. However, the decision was reconsidered after foreign players raised safety concerns during a meeting with PCB's Mohsin Naqvi.
"Yes, the PCB Chairman tried to convince us to conduct the remaining matches in Karachi. At that time he tried to hide from us that there were two drone attacks just the day before which we came to know later. Later all of us took the decision (to shift to Dubai) and the PCB Chairman helped us a lot to reach Dubai safely by the grace of Almighty Allah. Thanks to him and the Pakistan Cricket Board," he concluded.
