Pakistan Super League to resume smoothly – PCB
These strict protocols will be implemented so as to promote the conducive functioning of the PSL. The players and the coaching staff have been informed that the mandatory 7 day quarantine period will start from 22nd May. This time the bio bubble is going to be much more strict as compared to the previous one. Anyone who breaches the bubble will be penalized.
PSL 6 had been postponed as many players had tested positive in March. Peshawar Zalmi coach Darren Sammy and captain Wahab Riaz were also under scrutiny for breaching the bio bubble and putting everyone at a risk which copped a lot of criticisms from certain sections of the Pakistan cricket fraternity.
