The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 has also been called off for an indefinite period of time amid coronavirus fears. The decision to postpone the last three matches of the event was taken earlier today in a meeting between the Pakistan Cricket Board and PSL franchises.
The cricket lovers are saddened on hearing the news, however, it is the right decision as coronavirus threat has gripped the country. Let’s have a look at how Pakistanis are reacting to the news:
