While the all-rounder had represented Karachi Kings, the left-arm fast bowler was a part of Lahore Qalandars. Notably, on March 4, PSL 2021 was postponed indefinitely with immediate effect after three more players had tested positive for COVID-19, thus bringing the tally of COVID-19 positive cases in the PSL's bio-bubble to seven, out of which six were players.

At the time of postponement, only 14 games were completed in the PSL 2021. The postponement of PSL 2021 had angered several former Pakistan cricketers like Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi and Inzamam-ul-Haq among others who asked for an investigation to be held into the matter. After PSL 2021 was postponed, Shahid Afridi took to Twitter and expressed his disagreement at PCB's decision to postpone PSL. According to Afridi, despite the COVID-19 situation in Pakistan, the PSL 2021 could have been completed with just local players, thus belittling the presence of foreign players in the league. Despite a challenging situation, I feel the PSL could have been completed even with only local/young players involved. PSL is all about nurturing new talent. The tournament was very entertaining and provided quality cricket to fans around the world. 1/2 — Shahid Afridi (@SAfridiOfficial) March 4, 2021 ALSO READ | PSL 2021 team owner wants PCB to emulate BCCI, host remaining matches in UAE IPL-style SOURCE: SHAHEEN AFRIDI & SHAHID AFRIDI INSTAGRAM
