The New Plan Prepared For The Remaining Matches Of PSL 6 2021
After the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 6 was postponed, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) prepared a preliminary plan for the rest of the league matches.
According to PCB sources, a meeting of top PCB officials was held under
the chairmanship of PCB chief executive Wasim Khan where it was agreed to hold
the remaining matches in three possible months, May, June or September.
He said that the remaining matches of PSL 6 have been proposed to be
played in a single city of Pakistan. The meeting decided to outsource and
prepare the biosecure bubble for the remaining matches of PSL 6.
Sources said that all the suggestions and recommendations of the
meeting and preliminary plan have been sent to PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani after
which the PCB will consult with all the franchise owners and approve the final
plan.
It is to be noted that after the postponement of PCB 6, the PCB is now
facing difficulties in completing the event as the national team will be busy
all year round except May and September this year.
After the Pakistan team's tour of Zimbabwe in April, there is an
opportunity to hold the PSL in May, but due to the Indian Premier League (IPL),
foreign star players Chris Gayle, Faf Dupleix, Rashid Khan, David Miller and
others Many big names will not be available.
PSL officials will then have to hold the league without these players
and with their replacements, with a second chance ahead of the home series
against New Zealand in September.
PCB officials may make a final decision on the remaining matches of the
league in the coming days after consulting the franchises.
It may be recalled that the PCB had yesterday announced the indefinite
postponement of the remaining matches of the league on the identification of
corona virus in seven more players included in the PSL.
The PCB had said that the board had immediately postponed PSL 6 after a
virtual meeting between the PCB and the team owners.
The statement said that the PCB would now immediately take steps for
PCR testing, corona vaccine and isolation facilities for all six team participants.
Later, PCB chief executive Wasim Khan had said that PSL 6 would be
completed on a suitable date like last season.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, Wasim Khan had said that he
confirmed the postponement of the sixth season of PSL that PSL 6 has been
postponed till new dates and this day is very difficult for us.
