LAHORE (Reuters): The Pakistan Super League (PSL) will resume in June, the country’s cricket board said on Thursday, after the Twenty20 competition had to be suspended last week following a spate of COVID-19 cases among players and officials.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) abruptly suspended its flagship tournament after seven people, including six players, tested positive for COVID-19.

The PCB, the franchises and the league’s governing council have now decided to resume the tournament in Karachi.“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 PCB said in a statement.

The cricket board is restructuring its bio-bubble after several breaches were reported this year.

“The PCB management will now look into the operational and logistical challenges and revert to the franchise owners and stakeholders,” it added.
