The sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League is all set for resumption from June 1. However, due to the concerning situation of COVID-19, several overseas players, who were earlier available, pulled out of the league. To make up for the lost cricketers, a replacement draft was organized where franchises signed multiple overseas players for the remainder of PSL 6.
