More than 200 players, support staff, match and PCB staffers landed in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.

ABU DHABI (Dunya News) – The UAE authorities granted landing permission to South African players and the broadcast crews arriving from South Africa and India for participation in the Pakistan Super League 6.

The players, support staff and officials who could not board the chartered flight to Abu Dhabi from Karachi and Lahore on Thursday (yesterday) due to visa delay, are also expected to arrive in Abu Dhabi in another chartered flight.

More than 200 players, support staff, match and PCB staffers landed in Abu Dhabi yesterday from Karachi and Lahore and began their isolation on Thursday evening.

Meanwhile, Quetta Gladiators pacer Naseem Shah was granted permission to re-join the PSL 6 bio-bubble. He was sent home earlier this week because of a Covid-19 testing breach.

Naseem’s return however is dependent on fulfillment of the Pakistan bio-bubble protocols which include testing negative within 48 hours prior to the integration in the bubble and subsequent isolation along with two repeat Covid-19 tests before boarding the next chartered flight which will leave from Pakistan.
