KARACHI: Pakistan Cricket Board’s Director of Medical and Sports Sciences Dr Sohail Saleem has sent his resignation to Chairman Ehsan Mani over the failed biosecure bubble set up for the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
The development was confirmed by a PCB spokesperson, saying that PCB chairman and chief executive Wasim Khan will give the final approval on the resignation. “If the resignation is accepted then Dr Saleem will serve a month-long notice period,” he informed.
The spokesperson further said that within that period Dr Saleem will cooperate with the probe that will look into the failure of the biosecure bubble which led to the PSL’s postponement.
The sixth edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) was postponed earlier this week due to rising COVID-19 cases among the players and officials involved in the tournament.
“Following a meeting with the team owners and considering the health and wellbeing of all participants is paramount, the Pakistan Cricket Board has decided to postpone the Pakistan Super League 6 with immediate effect,” read the PCB statement.
