PCB Announces Its Own Awards After Biased ICC Awards
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the details of the PCB Awards 2020 today. The awards will be a recognition and appreciation of the players and match officials for their achievements, as well as their contributions and sacrifices, during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
After the world almost came to a standstill following the pandemic, the PCB was probably the only cricket board that announced a complete season on September 4, and since September 30 has successfully delivered 186 matches out of 259 (nearly 71 percent) to date.
The remaining 73 matches of the 2020-21 season, comprising the five-day Quaid-e-Azam Trophy final, five matches against South Africa, 33 matches in the Pakistan Cup One-Day Tournament, and 34 matches in the Pakistan Super League 2021, will be played in the first quarter of 2021.
