PSL franchises request PCB to host the remaining games in UAE

All the Pakistan Super League teams have requested PCB to conduct the remaining games of PSL in UAE.

According to a report, all six PSL teams have sent a letter to the Pakistan Cricket Board, and they are reviewing the situation in the country. For now, the respective PSL teams will gather in Karachi by May 23. They will begin their mandatory 7-day isolation. Last month, the Pakistan Cricket Board had designated a two-person fact-finding committee. The committee had to review the bio-security protocols, bylaws, and arrangements for the PSL-6. The respective committee made recommendations on how to conduct the remaining tournament in a bio-secure environment.

All six PSL teams participated in a replacement draft

After disclosing the date of resumption of PSL six, the teams participated in a replacement draft. They filled in the gaps as many overseas cricketers had decided to pull out of the event. Shakib Al Hasan, Martin Guptill, and Andre Russell are going to feature in the remaining games. They will play for Lahore Qalandars, Karachi Kings, and Quetta Gladiators, respectively.
