The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering moving the Lahore-leg of HBL PSL 6 matches to Karachi, according to sources.

After four positive Covid-19 cases, PCB wants to hold the remaining matches in a safe environment and one such option in this regard is to improve bio-bubble arrangements in Karachi while also shifting Lahore’s matches to the National Stadium.

PCB is discussing this option with all the relevant stakeholders and a decision is likely to be taken within the next 24 hours.

According to the original schedule, HBL PSL 6 matches were supposed to take place in Lahore from March 10 — which included the playoffs and the final.

It must be noted that three foreign players and one local support staff official have tested positive for Covid-19 during the last couple of days.
