Lynn, who earlier announced to stay in Pakistan until the end of Qalandars’ campaign, had a change of heart after the total number of Coronavirus cases doubled in less than 24 hours.

Lynn has joined his teammates David Wiese, and Seekkuge Prasanna by leaving the side ahead of the knock-out clash. These departures might hurt Lahore in their most important game tomorrow.

He announced his departure in a lengthy Instagram post.

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.
