The 2021 edition of the Pakistan Super League will restart in June.
The tournament had been suspended in early March, after several players tested positive for the coronavirus.
These included England batsman Tom Banton and Australian leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed.
“The Pakistan Cricket Board, the franchises and the PSL governing council are aiming to reschedule the remaining 20 PSL matches in June 2021 in Karachi,” read a statement from the PCB.
“This was unanimously agreed by the six franchise owners and the PCB on Thursday and after taking into consideration all factors relating to event organisation.
“June emerged as the most preferred and practical window due to Pakistan's international commitments in March and April – and late August and September.
“The remaining 20 matches in June are now being planned following the team's return from Zimbabwe on 13 May and before their departure for England on 26 June.
“The PCB management will now look into the operational and logistical challenges and revert to the franchise owners and stakeholders.”
