PSL 2020: Players Pay Heart-Touching Tribute To The Late Dean Jones

The Pakistan Super League (PSL 2020) Qualifier 1 was in action on Saturday as the Multan Sultans locked horns with Karachi Kings at the Karachi International Cricket Stadium. However, before the entire action unfolded, the players from both the teams paid a heart-touching tribute to the veteran Australian cricketer and commentator, Dean Jones, who had recently passed away.

Jones suddenly passed away due to a cardiac arrest in Mumbai. Jones was part of the Star Sports commentary team and was in a bio-secure bubble in a seven-star hotel in Mumbai. He was 59. The news came as a massive shocker as the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) was underway when Jones’ tragic news came in.
