The deadly COVID-19 has so far spread to more than 100 countries, infecting over 1,69,000 people and killing more than 6,500 people across the world. In Pakistan, the disease has already affected more than 50 people after 20 more people were tested positive on a single day.
The increasing number of cases forced Lynn to become the latest foreign cricketer to ditch PSL midway due to the deadly outbreak of the COVID-19. On returning to Brisbane, the cricketer will be subjected to a self-isolation of 14 days as the Australian government has asked every arriving international passenger to do the same.

The 29-year-old Lynn, meanwhile, gave the Pakistani fans a treat in his last innings as he bludgeoned eight sixes and 12 fours to help his team beat the Multan Sultans by nine wickets at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The win also helped the Qalandars in earning the fourth spot.
