The widely spreading, deadly Conoravirus has bought the whole world to a halt. The high concerns over the same have led to all sporting events to be either rescheduled or to be called-off. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has also seen the need to take quick action for the ongoing PSL. The playoffs have been replaced with both the semi-finals on March 17 and the final on March 18.

Countries have made some necessary and precautionary measures to isolate the country over rasing concerns of Corona. Over security and safety reasons, many foreign players as much as fourteen have already made it clear that they won’t be able to take part in PSL. However, the entire foreign regiment of Lahore Qalandars is still intact with the franchise.

However, Ben Dunk feels comfortable to take part in the remainder of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020.
The 33-year-old Australian wicketkeeper-batsman has openly confessed that he is willingly staying in Pakistan to complete the tournament. While there have been several foreign players from the same league heading home in a hurry.
