Remaining PSL 6 matches likely to take place in September or November

The remaining Pakistan Super League (PSL) season six matches are likely to take place in September or November, due to lack of a suitable window in March or June.

According to sources, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and franchises are facing difficulties in scheduling the remaining 20 matches of the event after it was postponed due to Covid-19 cases among players and support staff officials.

One of the options was to hold the matches towards the end of March but that will clash with Pakistan’s tour of South Africa. PCB believes that delaying an international series won’t be a good thing to do while it also doesn’t want to ruin its relationship with Cricket South Africa. Chartered flight has also been booked for the Pakistan team so chances of matches taking place in March are very slim.

June is also an option on the table but the hot weather, during that time of the year in Pakistan, and availability of England players, due to Vitality Blast which starts on June 9, could be a hindrance in this regard. Also, foreign players would be tired after taking part in the Indian Premier League (IPL) which ends on May 30.

Although, franchises want the matches to take place as soon as possible but September, when no international series is planned, and November, after T20 World Cup, seem to be the only viable options on the table at the moment.
