The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced to offer SARS-Coronavirus Vaccine doses to all participants of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 6, becoming the first cricket board to use the vaccine.

According to an official press release issued by PCB, the decision has been made to ensure all participants of the league remain safe and healthy during the event, which concludes on 22 March.

The vaccine doses will be administered on Thursday and will be offered to all those inside the bio-secure bubble. However, it will solely be the players’ and officials’ decision if they want to get the vaccine shots.

The cricket board has been in discussions with the federal and provincial government officials, highlighting the national cricket teams’ international engagements and commitments as well as the significance, reputation, integrity, and credibility of the PSL 6.
