Batsman Chris Lynn has decided to leave Pakistan amid coronavirus threat. Lynn was instrumental in duding Lahore Qalandars to semi-finals as he scored an unbeaten 113 against Multan Sultans in a must-win match.

Lynn took to Instagram and announced about his decision on Monday morning. ā€œThoroughly enjoyed my time at the @thepsl unfortunately in these circumstances Iā€™ve chosen to head home, Iā€™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,ā€™ā€™ Lynn posted on Instagram.Ā Aaron Finch, David Warner Question Australian Govtā€™s COVID-19 Measures.

Hereā€™s Chris Lynnā€™s Post

Interestingly, Lynn had earlier said that he was happy to stay in Pakistan than spend two weeks in isolation. ā€œI generally just like winning and if I go home I have to sit in isolation for two weeks so I would rather be playing here and hitting sixes. I would have missed out on it if I had gone home. The situation is different in England as compared to Australia but Iā€™m really proud of the Qalandarsā€™ overseas playing group because they stuck together,ā€™ā€™ said Lynn.Ā Ā
