Yesterday, PSL acting chief executive Mato Madlala said the league was yet to discuss and agree on the actual date of restarting the season. But she confirmed any club that submits satisfactory plan that meet government's stringent guidelines, gazetted by sports ministry a fortnight ago, can resume training immediately.

"Teams can return to training any time after submitting their compliance plan as per government's directive. Things like the testing of players and staff must be done first, from there they can train. It all depends on the readiness of each team." PSL drafted a document titled"Covid-19 health and safety directive return to training 2019/20 season", which lists the measures clubs will need to follow before training can officially resume.
