The seventh edition will be held from January 27 to February 27 in Karachi and Lahore. A few cases have also come to light in Pakistan, in which case the bio-security of the event has become the biggest challenge for the PCB.
Sources said that the top officials are busy with the arrangements these days, they are trying their best not to stop the league for the third year in a row due to Corona, initially handing over the biosecure arrangements to a foreign company It has been agreed that he will be given full authority to abide by the rules and regulations.
Players in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy did not follow the rules of biosecurity but in PSL, if anyone did so, strict action would be taken against him. The board has already announced to book a whole hotel. Most of the personalities associated with the league will be formed in it, there will be separate zones for cricketers and officials in which no one else will be able to enter.
Hotel staff will also not be out during the event, usually ground staff etc. are not part of the bubble but this time it has been suggested to include them, more details will come out in the next few days.
The proposal to quarantine foreign cricketers for more days is also being discussed. Fans were allowed to come from the West Indies in the series as per the capacity of the stadium. The final decision regarding PSL was taken in consultation with the NCOC. It will happen later, initially 100% of the people have been allowed to come.
Referring to the event, a franchise official said that there is no plan B for the event yet as to where the matches would be held in Pakistan if for some reason the matches had to be stopped. Yes, Corona cases have also increased there, so there will be no option to transfer the league to the UAE, although Sri Lanka recently held its league, but the arrangements there were not very good, the PCB in any case. PSL must be successfully completed in the country.
