PSL set for Emirates

THE PAKISTAN Cricket Board hopes to finish its Twenty20 league i n the United Arab Emirates next month.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) was postponed in March with 20 games to go after several players and support staff in the six franchises tested positive for COVID-19.

Pakistan is in the middle of a third wave which authorities say is worse than the previous ones.

Pakistan reported 140 deaths from the coronavirus in 24 hours on Friday, and goes into a national lockdown from today until May 16 to force people to stay home during the Eid al-Fitr festival which is celebrated at the end of Ramadan.

Jamaicans Andre Russell, Rovman Powell, and Fabian Allen, as well as their West Indies teammates Fidel Edwards and Obed McCoy were all drafted for the PSL.
