The remaining 20 games of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) will be played in the first week of June. Karachi will solely host all the games. Lahore will not host any game in this edition.
This was unanimously agreed by the six franchise owners and the PCB in a virtual meeting held on Thursday afternoon and after taking into consideration all factors relating to event organisation. The schedule will be revealed after confirming foreign players’ availability.
June emerged as the most preferred and practical window due to Pakistan men’s national cricket team’s international commitments in March/April and late August/September.
The remaining 20 matches in June are now being planned following the men’s national cricket team’s return from Zimbabwe on 13 May and before their departure for England on June 26.
The PCB management will now look into the operational and logistical challenges and revert to the franchise owners and stakeholders in the next meeting.
Last week, the sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) was postponed abruptly due to rising COVID-19 cases among players and support staff.
