Pakistan Cricket Board announces PSL 6 updated schedule

According to PCB, there will be six double-headers – five of them during the preliminary round and the sixth on 21 June, when Qualifier and Eliminator 1 matches will be played.

The matches will start at 1700 UAE time (18:00 PKT time) and 2200 UAE time (23:00 PKT time), respectively, while the single-headers will begin at 20:00 UAE time (21:00 PKT time).

On 9 June, fourth-placed Lahore Qalandars will meet third-placed Islamabad United in what will be the 15th match of the tournament.

The delayed start due to logistical and operational challenges that were beyond the PCB’s control will allow the sides sufficient time to train, practice and gear up for the biggest prize in Pakistan’s cricket calendar.

United and Qalandars resumed training on Wednesday evening, while the other four sides will start training from Thursday.

Players and player support personnel, who have completed the mandatory seven-day room isolation and returned three negative tests, would be allowed to integrate with their sides and participate in training sessions.

PCB in consultation with England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), has agreed to delay the departure of the Pakistan men’s side’s players and players support personnel from Abu Dhabi to 25 June.
