Recently, PCB faced the wrath of Pakistani fans and journalists, as Pakistan’s premier T20 competition had to be postponed due to mismanagement by the board.

The sixth edition of PSL was postponed after just 14 matches due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the bio-secure bubble set-up by the PCB. At least nine members of various franchises contracted the virus. PCB’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Sohail Saleem, resigned from his post as he was heavily criticized for his role in the controversy.

PCB has already advertised for the position of PSL Director on their official website, with candidates expected to apply before the deadline of 13 May.
