Tom Banton is one of the stars who have decided to quit PSL 2020.

Peshawar Zalmi have been hit the hardest by the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) decision to allow cricketers to quit the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 due to coronavirus fears.

Tom Banton, Liam Livingstone, Lewis Gregory, Liam Dawson, James Foster (coach) and Carlos Brathwaite form Zalmi's sextet that has decided to fly back home.

League leaders Multan Sultans have their batsmen James Vince and Rilee Rossouw leaving while Karachi Kings will be without their one-down, in-form blaster Alex Hales.

Quetta Gladiators initially said that none of their players were leaving, with their media manager saying that it was business as usual in their camp.

It is pertinent to mention here that the defending champs are a defeat away from exiting the tournament anyway.

However, the PCB later said that Quetta's Jason Roy and Tymal Mills have also decided to fly back home.
