Sudden but it was not
Everyone is going to utter that suddenly PSL got a hitch and directly got into the Pandemic Hit, starting with infection of Fawad Ahmed, and after few days of him effected, several cases were erupted and till Wednesday i.e. 3rd March, 2021; situation had got worst, where 6 more people were supposedly infected with the same.
Why am I saying that???
I am saying this as even before start of PSL 6, news of breaches were starting to take note of the news headlines nationwide, more notably Wahab Riaz and Darren Sammy who breached the Bio-Secure Bubble and met Mr. Afridi who is owner of Peshawar Zalmi and was not the part of BSB, hence this is an obvious thought that if one news is being break, it means there must have been few more incidents like that occurred due to which eye-brows have started to wagged.
Even the Franchises' have been complaining about the breaches
Like I mentioned above, News Broke from the Franchise end, confirms my suspicions, but the fact is Pakistan Cricket Board instead of acting civilized and cultivated, they (the PCB) acted desperately. I am having a great pain in writing these lines but the PCB surely acted desperately because kindly remember this thing that Australia opted to postpone their leg of ICC World T20 event, because of traveling and logistic issue, as according to them; it was difficult to maintain a standardized BSB all around their venues, although their cricket grounds are NOT crowdless, but still they took sensible step to think about AUSTRALIA first than their own motives (although I must say BUSINESS is in the back of their minds but still it is about priority).
Priority
It is all about priority(s), because of the laughing stock we have become because of this mismanagement of Pakistan's Premier Cricket Tournament is something we must have thought about the country initially, because now countries like England and New Zealand who were supposed to be traveling to Pakistan this year, are surely going to have suspicions in traveling to Pakistan amid indefinite suspension of HBL PSL.
Diagnosis of International Players with COVID-19
Due to players getting infected with COVID-19, whereas India played their IPL under the same circumstances at UAE and non of the players were infected, although news broke that here-and-there were some instances of abuse of SOP's but still there were strict SOP's implemented. Than UAE staged T10 league which was also concluded without any incident, hence PSL got the crown of having the first to have Pandemic Attack, and I need not to mention how this pandemic spreads, hence if inside 5 days, from Fawad Ahmed to 6 more people were infected, it is surely an indication that YES THERE WERE SOME(might be many) ABUSES to laid down SOP's at HBL PSL 6, and unlike PSL 5; the PCB might not be getting sympathy vote this time.
