The UAE authorities have made it mandatory for all players and officials to undergo a 10-day quarantine.
The sixth edition of the PSL was postponed in early March after a couple of players and support staff tested positive for the coronavirus.
Only 14 matches of the tournament had been played when the pandemic forced the PCB to suspend the tournament.
Ever since then, the PCB has been hopeful of conducting the remaining matches of the league in the UAE, as social gatherings and other sports activities remain banned in Pakistan owing to a surge in COVID-19 cases.
PSL points table
Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi led the points table with six points each.
Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars also had six points each but had played only four matches.
