Pakistan Super League (PSL) is recognized as Pakistan's Biggest Cricket Event sponsored by HBL. Uniting some of the most incredible talents around the world in one place, it has became an annual extravaganza for the fans of cricket. Recently, PSL 6 was canceled due to Covid-19 Pandemic, as the cases rose among the players of the respective teams. Many of the players were tested positive for covid-19 and were placed in quarantine until further notice. Like I said, a dark cloud had risen over PSL in the form of covid-19 pandemic, leaving the event's situation in limbo.
3 months after the delay, It was announced that PSL will continue in June and the remaining matches will take place in Abu Dhabi, Middle East despite the speculations that it will be moved to Sharjah. The fans are excited about the return of the annual cricket extravaganza but at the same time, covid-19 pandemic is not a stranger in spreading worry in the people.
It can be said that the event is returning but the pandemic is not over yet. How can they possibly expect to host matches in Abu Dhabi when the pandemic is raging on? What if more players end up in the quarantine due to the virus? In my opinion, it is not safe to say that the event is ready to return for the live coverage. Since the players were affected by the pandemic and some of them are still in quarantine, then how is it possible to continue the event in a critical situation that puts more players at risk? When it was decided that the event will be held without fans then why are they allowed to hold the event?
What can we expect in PSL? Let me know in the comments below. Feel free to share your opinion.
