The PSL officials recently met with the NCOC, briefing their plans of hosting the remainder of the tournament in Karachi, despite a surge in the COVID-19 cases across the country.
According to sources, NCOC was not satisfied with the plans amidst the pandemic and has requested the PCB to shift the tournament to the UAE. Lockdown is likely to be imposed in the next few days in various hotspot areas all over the country, including Karachi, which would make it impossible for the tournament to be held in the city.

According to reports, the PCB will take the final decision regarding the matter after Eid, and it is expected that the remaining matches will be shifted to the UAE.
