Pakistan Super League 6 bio-secure bubble was compromised on several occasions: PCB

Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has taken a sly dig at the COVID-19 protocols and bio-secure bubble arrangements made by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;

PSL 6 was postponed mid-way through the tournament after several COVID-19 positive cases were reported within squads. Amir has said that PCB shouldn't have allowed outsiders inside the hotel where the players and officials were staying for the tournament.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Amir further said that there were two lifts at the hotel for player and visitors but were divided by a wooden stand while taking a jibe that&nbsp;the virus would not go away after seeing that piece of wood.&nbsp;

“There were two lifts at the hotel, one for players and others for the rest of the visitors. There was a wooden stand to separate the two but the people using the lifts could still talk and see each other. Covid would not run away after seeing that piece of wood,” Amir made a tongue-in-cheek comment&nbsp;during an interview with Cricket Pakistan.&nbsp;

“Outsiders should not have been allowed at the hotel and the staff should have stayed in the bubble throughout the event,” he added.&nbsp;

Amir further compared PCB's bio-secure bubble for PSL 6 with arrangements made by other cricket tournaments in the world.&nbsp;

“I played at the T10 League and the Lanka Premier League (LPL) where the hotel was fully booked for the players and no outsiders were allowed. Every team had their separate lifts and teams were restricted to their designated floors,” he said.&nbsp;

“Each team had their separate gym and pool sessions. After one team had used the gym the other had to wait for 20 minutes so that the area could be sanitized properly,” he added.&nbsp;

The PSL 6 was postponed on March 4 after multiple coronavirus cases were reported among players and staff. There were even reports of several breaches during the tournament. However, the PCB is now looking to conduct the remaining matches in June.&nbsp;

Mohammad Amir takes cheeky dig at PCB's bio-secure bubble for PSL 6

After the postponement of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 6, franchise owners are set to present a list of&nbsp;grievances to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ehsan Mani on Monday during a virtual meeting.&nbsp;

According to reports, PSL 6 franchise owners are expected to seek a refund&nbsp;of their submitted fees if the tournament cannot be completed in future. While PCB has assured that they will look to find&nbsp;time to complete the postponed PSL 6, the packed calendar makes things tricky for the&nbsp;organisers.&nbsp;

The PSL franchise owners have been left upset and disappointed by the approach of PCB CEO Wasim Khan, who reportedly was pushed on the back foot during a meeting as he shared the responsibility of mismanagement&nbsp;with a wide range of shareholders during the tournament.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Whereas, the PCB has also formed a two-member fact-finding committee panel that has also left the owners unhappy. While the panel has been asked to&nbsp;investigate&nbsp;the breaches in the Standard Operating&nbsp;Protocol&nbsp;(SOPs)&nbsp;following the postponement of PSL 6, the owners have been left fuming as they were not taken into consideration while&nbsp;finalising&nbsp;the move.&nbsp;

The franchise owners are also&nbsp;extremely&nbsp;concerned about financial losses. Notably, most foreign players have been paid 70 per cent of their fees despite featuring in four or five matches. Meanwhile, it is not yet clear whether any amount will be&nbsp;retrieved&nbsp;from the&nbsp;players who are not willing to participate in the tournament further.&nbsp;

Earlier, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar had slammed the PCB for its “incompetence” as he said the latest incident has destroyed the PSL brand.&nbsp;

"PSL brand got destroyed again just because of the incompetence. And the&nbsp;one's&nbsp;who do not even know how to write a prescription or see X-rays are PCB's doctors. I have witnessed this when I used to play, they (PCB doctors) did not know how to see X-rays. Nothing has changed so far," Akhtar said in his YouTube channel.
