Lahore Qalandars Chief Operating Officer Sameen Rana has revealed that thedecision to postpone the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 was taken becausethe authorities could not identify how the bio-secure bubble was breached.
The sixth edition of Pakistan’s cash-rich T20 league was postponed Thursdayafter three more players tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Rana said, while talking to Geo News, that the decision to postpone thetournament was taken as the officials could not identify how the bio-securebubble was breached.
“As we know that once the bubble was breached, we first had four cases andtoday we had three more,” he said. “The problem with a disease like acoronavirus is that it multiplies overnight. There is a fear that the casesmight increase if we continue with the tournament.
“The decision to postpone the event was taken because I don’t think theauthorities have been able to identify how the bubble was breached and onceyou cannot identify it, how can you rectify it?”
