The teams were likely to depart for Abu Dhabi on May 22, however, the bookings were canceled due to the last-minute clearance from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government.
Now that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has received all exemptions it requested, the league is back on track with teams departing for the venue on May 26.
The uncertainty is due to the UAE government’s condition that demands all players, officials, and management staff involved in the league be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
