The final rounds of the 2020 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) could take place after the men’s T20 World Cup.
The competition was postponed three matches from completion amid the Covid-19 pandemic, with England’s Alex Hales reporting symptoms of the novel coronavirus after returning home.
The PCB are understood to be determined to reach a satisfactory conclusion to the tournament, and have identified a 10-day window in November, following the men’s T20 World Cup, when the play-offs could be held.
