Dr. Sohail had tendered resignation as the PCB’s Head of Sports Medicine Department after PSL 6 ended abruptly earlier this month as a result of a COVID-19 outbreak in its bio-secure bubble.
On 4 March, PCB had decided to postpone PSL 6 after multiple cricketers and officials tested positive for Coronavirus.
Yesterday, PCB announced to resume PSL 6 in June and to hold all the remaining matches of the event in Karachi.
Note that PCB has already decided to outsource the management of the bio-secure bubble to a UK-based company.
