However, the big-hitting Australian batsman has decided to return home as a preventive measure against Coronavirus (COVID-19). “Thoroughly enjoyed my time at the @thepsl unfortunately in these circumstances I’ve chosen to head home, I’ve always said there is more to life than cricket and this is certainly one of these cases. I have full faith in the @lahoreqalandars to go all the way but more importantly have fun lads! Thank you to everyone involved, Pakistan you have been a blast,” Lynn wrote on his Instagram post.
