According to sources, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has planned to enlist the services of Pakistan Army doctors for each team participating in the next Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 7 as part of its anti-COVID-19 measures.
Sources further said that each PSL side will have one doctor from the Pakistan Army Medical Corps. Similarly, during the ICC T20 World Cup, each PSL team’s players and officials will be subjected to daily quick antigen tests at the hotel.
During the major event, strict procedures will be in place to restrict the spread of COVID-19, as per sources. They added added that PCR tests will not be available every day.
Moreover, the Army’s doctors will be in charge of conducting health tests and taking the athletes’ temperatures. They were also hired during the PSL-6, according to the sources.
Additionally, domestic and foreign players cannot be confined for the entire week leading up to the league, as per the COVID-19 protocols issued by the PCB.
