PSL Fan Rant: Pro-play supporters vs 'cancel cricket' brigade begins

By Web Desk

March 13, 2020

The 10th edition of the PSL Fan Rant takes a more serious turn as the worldwide outbreak of coronavirus has left some fans urging local authorities to cancel the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 altogether.

There are, of course, those die-hards who want the show to go on no matter what.

Scroll to the bottom to find out how you can contribute to the next Fan Rant post, but until then, give this one a read:

Use PSL to raise awarness

PSL should not be cancelled. The PCB should cancel live attendance. Since it is the most watched, they should create awareness like making Ramiz Raja interview someone from a hospital on the sidelines, and let Shoaib Malik demonstrate how to wash hands!

— Ali Hasnain

Cancelling PSL is 'degenerate' move

You must be a next level degenerate to think and suggest that PSL should be closed/shutdown. Why cancel it entirely? Matches can still take place with empty stadiums.

— Azaz Wazir

Coronavirus can't beat Pakistan

In the past a lot of viruses — in the form of terrorists — have tried to sabotage our events. Were they successful. This coronavirus will also not succeed.

— Abdul Razzaq

A conspiracy theorist

It is said that more than 200 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed only in Lahore but the govt does not want to bring publicise it as it will affect the PSL.

— Zoha Khan

And another

From a very close source I got to know that there are 19 cases in Lahore. Media kept it low-key to make PSL go smooth!

— Husna Aftab

Is this a Hollywood movie?

PSL is getting cancelled. IPL is already cancelled. UEFA about to cancel everything. Lockdown is happening and I'm literally feeling like I'm in a movie right now. Legit World War Z and The Walking Dead vibes.

— Taroob Dar

Here comes the cancel PSL brigade

We should better not repeat the mistakes of Iran and Italy and cancel all public and sporting events including PSL.

— Ever Golden

Leave PSL alone --- NOT!

Pakistan need to take this coronavirus threat seriously. Government should suspend all public activities for at least two weeks. Italy didn't take any precautions and now the situation is beyond their control. Cancel PSL!

— Amjad Saad

Cancel PSL *2

Cancel PSL. Close public gatherings. Run an aggressive public awareness campaign to protect against the coronavirus.

— Bhawani Kumar Malhi

Cancel PSL *3

Cancel PSL because at this time the health of people as well as cricketers is more important than these activities. The fans of PSL should also cooperate and understand the ongoing situation of corona outbreak.

— Dr Saleha Tariq
