The players and officials, currently in Abu Dhabi, have been given a Bluetooth tracker to monitor their movements in the bio-secure bubble of the upcoming HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season six.

According to details, Restrata, which is the company incharge of the bio-secure bubble arrangements, has given a tracker which should be worn around the neck at all times, except while playing or training, to ensure that nobody steps out of the bubble undetected.

The tracker will help the Abu Dhabi Ministry of Health and the league organisers to keep an eye on everyone involved in the event. An application will reveal the whereabouts of any individual who steps out of the bubble and could lead to strict action.
