PCB offers treasure to the players, officials

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced distributing SARS Coronavirus vaccines among its all officials and the participants of the HBL PSL 6.

As the COVID struck PSL 6 camp with a few of the players testing positive, the board did not want any alerted situation. Hence, they have come up with the safest initiative.

Notably, it will be up to the player and the official either to get vaccines shot or not. The vaccines are to be distributed on Thursday.

Taking the initiative, PCB becomes the first-ever cricket board to distribute COVID vaccines among officials and players. The idea is granted so there does not come any alarming state to hit the PSL flow going on.

Notably, the PSL 2020 was called off in the middle due to the outbreak. The playoffs and final were scheduled by the year-end.
