IMG-Reliance announced the decision to sever ties with the Twenty20 cricket tournament on Sunday in the wake of public outrage in India after 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers were martyred in a suicide bombing in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir.

"Blitz is the PCB's broadcast partners in Pakistan, while Trans Group is the event management partners," it said.
