KARACHI: Players, who are participating in the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam (QeA) Trophy here at three venues, were seen hanging out despite Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s bio-secure environment.
Few pictures went viral on social media in which different players can be seen with different people, probably in a hotel outside of the bio-secure environment.

According to the sources, PCB has given some relaxations to players in bio-secure environment but the limit hasn’t been defined as of yet. Also, PCB didn’t give any official verdict about the viral pictures of players from a local restaurant.
However, for media, strict SoPs are followed like ‘no in-person interviews allowed due to players being in bio-secure environment, no interaction with players on the venue’. Whereas, players were seen interacting with some outsiders on one of the venues of QeA Trophy.
