We will be looking at other windows: PCB CEO Wasim Khan
PCB CEO Wasim Khan has admitted on the board failing to make a secure bio-bubble for the teams, players and other staff members. However, he is hopeful of conducting the tournament in coming times. He also emphasizes on PCB’s approach to work on bubble in order to help the players exit it safely and head back to their respective places.
“We will be looking at other windows and we hope to play the event at a later time. What’s taking place right now is that we are carefully and slowly exiting, exiting players from our environment so that we can safely get them out and they can start to travel to wherever they need to travel in terms of moving forward. But we want to continue and finish the PSL,” Wasim Khan said as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
