Amid the growing global COVID-19 pandemic, nine foreign cricketers have decided to leave the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and return home. Among the nine cricketers English players like Jason Roy, Alex Hales and James Vince are included.

Despite the Coronaviurs outbreak and cricketers withdrawing the season, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), stated that the PSL will continue as scheduled.

"What is paramount is we are giving options to all the players and support personnel to withdraw from the league if they want too as ensuring they feel comfortable remains top priority of the PCB," PCB CEO Wasim Khan said."England players like Alex Hales, Jason Roy, Tymal Mills, Liam Dawson, Liam Livingstone, Lewis Gregory, James Vince, West Indian Carlos Braithwaite, South African Rilee Roussouw and James Foster (Coach) will be returning home from the PSL," the Board further added.

Further assuring about the virus, the board asserted that it was monitoring the situation closely and so far no player or official has tested positive for the virus in the league.

Meanwhile, the deadly coronavirus has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) which has led to nearly 5000 deaths globally.
