The announcement came as a major relief for all the stakeholders and fans who were eagerly waiting for the resumption after the tournament was abruptly postponed in March due to COVID-19. Initially, the board planned to conduct the remaining matches in Karachi but was forced to move the tournament out of Pakistan to UAE due to the second wave of COVID-19.

To stage the event in UAE had several issues but PCB stood firm and battled many hurdles such as visa issues, permission to land for chartered flights and quarantine protocols. After a lot of suspense and delay, June 9 was confirmed as the final date.
