On Tuesday, PSL said in a statement that the rescheduled match will take place on Tuesday as planned and added that a total of 244 people associated with the league were tested on the day and 3 people were found to be positive.

These individuals, including two foreign players and local player support personnel, have been quarantined at a separate floor of the team hotel, they added in the statement.
