Tom Curran PSL Operation Sindoor : The Pakistan Super League (PSL) came to a screeching halt amid geopolitical tension, as India’s sudden military operation—codenamed “Operation Sindoor”—led to widespread panic, including among foreign cricketers. Several overseas players evacuated Pakistan in haste, with safety concerns looming large. Among the unfolding drama, a claim from Bangladesh’s Rishad Hossain stirred further controversy—one that English cricketer Tom Curran has now directly refuted.
Following a partial collapse of the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium during the operation, panic spread quickly through PSL camps. One by one, foreign cricketers began leaving the country. Among them was Rishad Hossain, who later shared a harrowing account of his departure, including a claim that England’s Tom Curran had broken down in tears amid the chaos.
“After reaching Dubai, I heard that a missile hit the airport just 20 minutes after our takeoff,” Rishad reportedly told Bangladeshi media.
“Daryl Mitchell told me he’d never come back to Pakistan under such circumstances. Tom Curran was crying like a baby when he heard about the airport being shut down. It took two or three people to calm him down.”
This statement immediately drew widespread attention—if not concern, then certainly curiosity. Curran, who represents the Lahore Qalandars in the PSL, did not let the allegations sit unanswered. Taking to Instagram, he addressed the issue with a mix of diplomacy and directness.
“It’s good to see everything starting again. I pray for peace to return. That said, I didn’t cry at all—but I could have.”
His message, though understated, made it clear: the emotional breakdown attributed to him was unfounded. Importantly, Curran’s response didn’t carry animosity—only a quiet effort to set the record straight.
Interestingly, Tom Curran wasn’t the only cricketer named in Rishad’s dramatic recount. New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell was also mentioned as saying he would not return to Pakistan. As the story gained momentum, backlash began mounting, especially from international fans and players who sought clarity.
Within days, Rishad issued a public apology.
“My comment is creating a misunderstanding somewhere,” he said.
“I apologize for that. I also apologize to Daryl Mitchell and Tom Curran.”
It remains unclear whether Rishad exaggerated the moment or if his comments were misinterpreted in translation. Either way, his apology seems to have closed the chapter—for now.
As the dust settles from the incident, the PSL continues to grapple with bigger questions: security, international trust, and the willingness of top-tier overseas players to return. The fallout from Operation Sindoor has once again reminded the cricketing world of how quickly the playing field can turn into a pressure zone.
For players like Tom Curran, maintaining composure off the field can sometimes be just as demanding as performing under lights. Whether in a stadium or an emergency exit gate, the strength of a professional athlete is measured in more than just runs and wickets—it’s also in grace under fire.
