The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday said that the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 will continue according to its schedule amid the novel coronavirus outbreak, even if the league loses its foreign stars.
The board, in a conference call with franchise owners, decided to allow players and support personnel to withdraw from the PSL, saying that suitable replacements will be approved by the Technical Committee.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Friday that it had rescheduled the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020. As per the new schedule, the final will be played on March 18 which was previously slated for March 22.
The playoffs have been replaced with the semi-finals on 17 March and the final on 18 March.
The decision means the PSL 2020 has been reduced by four days and there will now be 33 matches as opposed to 34.
According to the revised schedule, the 17 March semi-finals will be double-headers and will be held at the Gaddafi Stadium with the table-toppers going head to head with the fourth-placed side at 2pm. This match will be followed by the second semi-final, which will begin at 7pm, between the second and third-placed sides.
