The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) might hold the remaining of the Pakistan Super League matches in UAE. The board has in fact said that it has started the discussions with the Emirates Cricket Board regarding the same.
"We had an interactive and productive meeting in which we considered a number of factors. While the UAE has emerged as a preferred venue, a number of challenges remain, which will be worked through over the coming days. We remain committed to doing everything possible to complete the HBL PSL 6," PCB CEO Wasim Khan was quoted as saying via a media release.
The PSL 2021 had been postponed earlier after there was a rise in the COVID-19 cases within the teams. It was later decided that the tournament will be resuming next month while the final will be played on June 20.
It was further decided that all the matches would be played in Karachi itself but the surge in the COVID-19 cases in the city has forced the PCB to hold the remainder of the league outside the country.
The UAE had previously hosted the PSL while the IPL 2020 also took place in the country.
Pakistan team is further slated to travel to UK on June 23 for a six-match ODI series scheduled to begin on July 8. "PCB will liaise with the ECB in relation to finalising playing and training facilities, hotel bookings, ground transportation and visitors' visas," the release stated.
"PCB will carry out a detailed financial and risk assessment as well as cost analysis before reporting back to the franchises, who will then review before a decision on the event venue is confirmed"
