The Pakistan Super League has been postponed indefinitely after six players and a support staffer tested positive for Covid-19, the Pakistan Cricket Board said on Thursday.
The PCB said in a statement that the decision was taken after a virtual meeting with owners of the six PSL clubs.
“The PCB, as an immediate step, will focus on the safe and secure passage of all participants,” the cricket board said, adding that it will also make arrangements of further Covid-19 testing, provide vaccines and will also assist in providing isolation facilities.
Karachi had hosted 14 of the 20 preliminary round matches before the event was due to move to Lahore for the remaining 14 games on March 10.
Earlier on Thursday, the tally of infected individuals in the PSL bio-secure bubble rose to seven after three more unnamed cricketers from two clubs tested positive for Covid-19.
Islamabad United’s two foreign cricketers, including Australian leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed, an unnamed foreign cricketer and a support staff member from one of the clubs were already in isolation after being tested positive earlier this week.
The league was postponed for a day last Monday when Ahmed tested positive for Covid-19.
On Feb. 21, Peshawar Zalmi captain Wahab Riaz and head coach Daren Sammy were allowed to rejoin their squad after an appeal against a quarantine for breaching Covid-19 protocols was accepted by the PCB.
Riaz and Sammy breached the team’s bio-secure bubble on Feb. 19 when they met with their team owner, who was not part of the bio-secure bubble.
But they rejoined the team following two negative Covid-19 tests after they were spared a three-day quarantine when their appeal was accepted by the PSL committee.
