Karachi: Former skipper Shahid Afridi has criticised the Pakistan Cricket Board for postponing PSL 6 due to Covid-19 scare among the franchises, saying the deferment proved that PCB didn't have a plan B to fall back upon.

Speaking at a function in Lahore on Wednesday, Afridi said that the Pakistan Super League should not have been postponed.

"The PSL is a very big brand of Pakistan and Pakistan cricket and it is unfortunate that the PCB didn't appear to have a plan B for this important event," he said.

"But it appears they didn't have a plan B when the Covid-19 cases were detected among some players and officials and this is surprising to me. The postponement didn't send out a good message," he said.
