Lynn took to Instagram and announced about his decision on Monday morning. “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 posted on Instagram. Aaron Finch, David Warner Question Australian Govt’s COVID-19 Measures.

Interestingly, Lynn had earlier said that he was happy to stay in Pakistan than spend two weeks in isolation. “I 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 I’m really proud of the Qalandars’ overseas playing group because they stuck together,’’ said Lynn.
