Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) CEO Wasim Khan said on Saturday that sending Pakistan cricket team on England tour during the coronavirus pandemic was quite a tough decision, but “cricket and COVID-19 will have to co-exist”.
According to the PCB official, the situation became quite tense when cricket team players started testing positive for COVID-19.
“However, for the restoration of world cricket and to keep it on track, it is imperative to continue with matches”, he added.
“COVID-19 and cricket will have to co-exist, there was no other reason for this decision other than the [revival of] global cricket,” the official said.
