The sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League, which was postponed in early March due to multiple covid-19 cases amongst the players and staff members, will resume on June 1, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced. The competition which began on February 20 in Pakistan was halted after 14 matches.
On Saturday( April 10), the Board of Governors (BoG) of the PCB met through a virtual conference call and finalized the dates of the tournament’s resumption. The BoG was given a report by a two-person panel regarding the bio-security protocols, bylaws, and arrangements for the remaining season.
They lamented the “failures that were highlighted in the report” which caused the fiasco leading to the postponement of the season. They ordered, “robust and stringent implementation of the protocols, as well as maintaining a zero-tolerance approach towards all those who breach the Covid-19 SOPs.”
It is also learned that the board will appoint a renowned company that organizes and creates bio-bubble and provides covid-safe technology solutions, bio-secure monitoring & management for the Pakistan Super League resumption in June. The same firm was hired by the BCCI for conducting IPL 2020 in the UAE.
