The franchise owners are not happy about this, and some of them have made statements against the PCB. Spokesman of Lahore Qalandars is claiming that there were multiple bubble breaches at Karachi and PCB was responsible for the mismanagement. Meanwhile, there is an unofficial statement claiming that the tournament may resume by May this year. If that is the case, then the schedule is going to clash with IPL 2021.

It is natural that the franchise owners will be mad at the situation as they are loosing money because the PCB cannot control the players and make a safe environment. I doubt that they will be resuming the tournament anytime soon with a big breach like this when many of the players are infected.

Watch the T20 between New Zealand and Australia and it looks like Australia is back in form as they are winning the matches easily, not sure what is the magical recipe all of a sudden Grin

They first case was reported on 1st March and it took PCB 3 days to realize how the situation has gone from bad to worst. I do not expect PCB to come with a disciplinary action anytime soon. Yes, I agree a strong message has to be given to the players and a harsh punishment should be delivered.

This was supposed to happen, players were only quarantine for two days rather tha 14 days. Players were allowed to party and move around. PCB blew the bio bubble and now this incident will jeopardize the reputation of PSL. IPL, Big Bash and Srilankan premier league did not have such issue as they followed strict regulations.

Even when the Pakistan team toured New Zealand, some of the players disregarded the bubble protocol and a full blown diplomatic faceoff between the two countries happened as a result. PCB should make an example out of this incident and suspend the players who broke the rules for at least one year. They need to send a strong message, or incidents like this will get repeated in the future.

PSL is postponed indefinitely as more players tested positive and it is really unfortunate for everyone especially the players and the PCB as they should have taken things seriously while conducting a tournament like this and now they will incur more losses.

I was suspecting this ever since Fawad Ahmed tested positive. Feels bad for the Pakistani cricket fans and the PCB. This time the PCB worked really hard to establish the biosecure bubbles and to arrange logistics. But all that effort was undone due to the arrogant nature of a few players. Despite strict instructions, a number of star players went outside the bubble and some of them tested positive later. And from them, more individuals inside the bubble got infected. Don't want to start a blame game, but irresponsible behavior from a few players resulted in tens of millions of USD in losses to the PCB.

From what I have heard, a total of 7 individuals have tested positive for COVID 19 (including 6 players). I understand that some of the overseas players have also tested positive for COVID 19. And a curious case will be that of Sandeep Lamichhane. He arrived in Pakistan yesterday, to take part in the PSL. Now the tournament is cancelled before he could even play a single game.

Oh tere ki, when this happened?

Last i heard tournament was going okay. Big loss for every stakeholders including fans, would be very happy if PCB and Franchise ban those players from the next PSL. I hope BCCI would also learn something from this drama and keep things tight next month.

The first incident involved Wahab Riaz and Darren Sammy (if I am not wrong). Obviously the PCB could not take any concrete action against them, as they are like superstars. They were let off with a warning. These two even refused to comply with the three-day quarantine that followed the breach. And this triggered even more of such behavior from the other players. Anyway, now the tournament is suspended and everyone can regret about their reckless behavior by watching their empty bank accounts.

It is really unfortunate as i was getting the hook of placing bets as i started to get in the grove as placing a bet on any chasing team was a great proposition as the total did not matter and everyone chased good in the tournament and the odds are pretty decent as well for live betting and started liking Karachi Kings but this situation sucks and they should have created a safe environment for everyone.

^^^ There is a reason why the West Indian players are in such demand in the IPL. Players such as Russell, Pollard, Narine and Pooran can chnage the course of the match in one or two overs, with no support from anyone else. I haven't seen many players with such calibre from the other nations. T20 format suits the West Indian style of cricket and therefore they get the biggest bids. I don't think that there is anything wrong with this.

Steyn is a complete failure as far as T20 format is concerned. He is a really good test bowler (in fact one of the legends in the post-WW2 era), but his style of bowling is not suitable for the shorter format. On the other hand, Warner's style of play is tailor-made for T20 format. And I agree with his decision. In two months with IPL, he is earning many times what he gets from the remaining 10 months put together. Ideally, his concern should be to keep himself injury free for the IPL season.

IPL auctions have become the only focus for some players specially the one from West Indies and in all honesty, this should be stopped. They are no longer interested in playing the game for their nation and team, apart from some players most of them are playing for their team as an option to showcase their skills for the IPL auction and hopefully grab a huge bid and get to play for a big franchise.

There are other leagues in cricket too but the auction system in IPL is actually making it more money biased as opposed to a team sport.

Coming back to the Dale Steyn topic, his bowling was always more suited to formats where the batsman is looking to defend and not thinking about attacking. I have seen a lot of Steyn bowling and he looks even more dangerous when you try and defend him.

T20 format is suited for players like Sunil Narine who you can defend all day with some skills but as soon as you try and hit them out of the ground, you will be in trouble.

I am glad some players have focused on one format rather than playing for all formats and looking average, Stuart Broad is one I can think of, and among batsmen, Pujara is one such player.

In the previous over Akila Dananjaya had taken hat-trick wicket and the next over is Kieron Pollard's double hat-trick six.

Change of fortunes in the spare of two overs, i missed the hat trick of wickets but they way in which Kieron Pollard make his presence felt with the IPL coming up was awesome.

Well he's premiere player for Australia and last summer he along with the smudge missed the Border-Gavaskar trophy due to ban so that might be one of the reason he opted to play despite injury and other openers were not in good form per se, so 1 more reason to play for his country.

@Timelord2067 if you fancy T-20 or IPL then feel free to join in, its good fun over all.

@JSRAW wonder if his comments are just a coincidence like the one Steyn made, when he said playing in the IPL wasn’t lucrative at all. I’m not saying what Warner said isn’t true, just that these two decided to make these comments right around the time when IPL is coming, hence it does makes me wonder what their actual intention are.

Bhai its tabloid news so don't read too much into it Grin

. Dale Styen should have know better that media love to create controversy out of nowhere and keyboard warriors makes matter worse. Anyway he already posted his clarification on twitter.

Davey's statement was about his injury (not related to IPL at all). He's back on the field now and playing domestic ODI tournament.

What a six from the beast Kieron Pollard against Sri Lanka. Akila Dananjaya tried his best, but the start given by the start of the over made him continue to reach him as the second to score six sixes in an over of T20, and the third to score six sixes in international cricket. Earlier Akila Dananjaya took consecutive wickets and was disturbing the momentum of the match. These sixes helped West Indies win the match with ease.

In the previous over Akila Dananjaya had taken hat-trick wicket and the next over is Kieron Pollard's double hat-trick six.

LOL.. Pollard just destroyed them. He scored 38 runs from just 11 balls, including 6 sixes. By the time he got out in the 7th over, West Indies had crossed the 100 run mark. West Indies do have the best T20 players in the world. But the main issue is that they are always busy with various franchise T20 leagues and in most cases not available for national duty. If players such as Pollard and Russel play more often for West Indies, then they will be invincible.

I knew once I put the knock on Finch, he would come out and play well. Its about time Australia were able to put some partnerships together and post a decent sized total for New Zealand to chase which they were not able to do. It was a big turn around for Australia and in the series as it still gives Australia a chance of winning the series coming from 2-0 down. Now the momentum is with Australia which they kind of built on from the last match even though they lost by 4 runs.

It was nice to watch Finch back in action, after such a prolonged rough patch. Australia is still down by 1-2 and they need to win both the remaining matches. Glenn Maxwell is also back in form, and that should be good news for his IPL franchise (Royal Challengers Bangalore). On the other hand, RCB will be a bit worried about Kyle Jamieson, who has performed poorly so far in this series.
