Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has spoken about the postponement of the PSL 2021 due to the rise in COVID-19 cases and claimed that the players roamed freely outside the bio-bubble.
“Some players freely went outside of the bubble, whilst some people from outside came in and out of the bubble. What exactly was this bubble about?,” questioned Inzi.
The former right-handed batsman also emphasised that the postponement of the tournament might also create problems in future as the touring teams can be reluctant of travelling to the country.
“Players can say that the arrangements in Pakistan are not adequate. This happened last time as well. This can create future problems. Other teams might have issues now. We are already hearing that some players have returned their tickets, citing either their board or country as the source that is warning them. The doors of cricket had opened in Pakistan. Now, will other countries send their players to our country?,” Inzamam further said.
Inzamam further went on to say that the culprits should be identified and strict actions should be taken against them.
“This is a point to ponder. Just because we needed to hold this tournament to satisfy the sponsors, our mistakes have cost us in such a massive manner. If we don’t take this matter seriously and try to sweep it under the rug then in the future this will happen again. They should pinpoint the culprits and distance them from the entire thing,” he said.
