LAHORE: All six franchises have called their local players and supporting staff at two centres (Lahore and Karachi) on May 24. 

According to the details, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and franchises owners held a virtual meeting on Thursday after they got final confirmation from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to host the remaining PSL 6 in Abu Dhabi.

It was agreed in the meeting that the local players and supporting staff will gather in Karachi and Lahore respectively on May 24 where they will undergo second COVID-19 testing before entering the bio-secure bubble.
