Pakistan Cricket Board chief executive Wasim Khan said the PSL is an ideal precursor in terms of logistics and planning.

The Pakistan Cricket Council had to overcome logistical and operational obstacles to get the remaining 20 Pakistan Super League games underway. The tournament was transferred to Abu Dhabi and got resumed on June 9th. The final is set for June 24 and the Pakistan team will fly to England for a limited series.

The PSL was pushed back to March because several athletes and coaches tested positive for the coronavirus.

However, Wasim khan, Pakistan Cricket Board chief executive said in the beginning that all these obstacles vanished after the PCB worked closely with the Emirates Cricket Board to help the ICC plan the UAE Twenty20 World Cup.

“The logistical challenges we face are similar and will bring more countries from different parts of the world to the UAE World Cup,” Khan told the Associated Press. The PSL told the Associated Press. It is the “perfect pioneer of the ICC decided that the UAE sees strongly as a venue” for the World Championships.

PCB officials said that most ICC member states feel comfortable attending events in the UAE.

“Ultimately, it’s an ICC decision, but if I ask, it’s likely to happen in the UAE,” Khan said.

Cricket officials expect Pakistan’s coronavirus situation to improve in the coming months before traveling through New Zealand, England, and the West Indies. Australia will visit Pakistan in February for the first time in 22 years.

“From COVID’s perspective, we expect everything to be better in Pakistan in four to five months,” Khan said. “A lot of cricket awaits us … and all countries are excited about this opportunity.”

Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, and South Africa have held limited and test matches in Pakistan in recent seasons, allaying security concerns that have prevented foreign teams from traveling to Pakistan, focusing more on safe biosecurity bubbles in Pakistan.

“Security is no longer the main issue that people want,” Khan said. “When South Africa and Zimbabwe were supposed to come, they asked themselves about the (coronavirus) protocol – no longer about safety.”

Pakistan successfully accepted South Africa and Zimbabwe during the pandemic but failed to maintain an inaccessible biosecurity bubble in Karachi during the March PSL.

“We found some holes and gaps in the implementation of the actual biosecurity we created,” Kahn said in a subsequent PCB investigation.

However, he added that similar violations were found at other international events such as the Australian Open tennis tournament and the English Premier League.

“This is a global phenomenon and cricket is no exception,” Khan said.

Pakistan’s Board of Directors has hired an international firm with experience with the IPL and the British Cricket Commission to manage the biosafety bubble for the rest of the PSL.

“We know we are holding hands with them,” he said. “From a big bubble point of view, we do everything we can, both on the ground and in the hotel, and that’s possible. Make sure it’s as tight as possible.”
