The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Thursday it had received the approval from the United Arab Emirates government to stage the remaining 20 matches of the suspended Pakistan Super League twenty20 tournament in Abu Dhabi.
The board's flagship tournament was stopped after 14 games in March after seven individuals, including six players, tested positive for COVID-19.
The date and details of the matches will be announced later after consultation with the franchise owners, the PCB said.
