The COVID-19 effect has created lots of panic across the globe.

The coronavirus cases have going up at the rate of knots and there’s no stopping the death tolls as well.

The scientists around the world trying to find an apt antidote to the fatal virus, but nothing concrete has come to the fore just yet.

Even the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been postponed from March 29 to April 15 in the wake of the disaster.

The Indian government also cancelled the visas, barring a few categories, after the coronavirus outbreak.

New Zealand’s tour of Australia halted after a solitary ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground where the hosts came out trumps without dropping much sweat.

Moreover, The Pakistan Super League (PSL) semi-finals has also been postponed till further notice.

However, the last few games at the National Stadium in Karachi were played behind closed doors.
