In a significant move, the PCB suspends NOCs for players, effectively putting a stop to all overseas league participation. The notice, issued on 29 September by COO Sumair Ahmad Syed, affects cricketers seeking to play in T20 competitions abroad. No timeline has been given, raising uncertainty for stars including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi.
PCB Suspends NOCs
The board may allow players to obtain NOCs based on their performance in domestic and national matches, but it has not provided any details. Seven players who were due to play in Australia’s Big Bash League and others shortlisted for the UAE’s ILT20 auction are affected. For now, players will have to wait for further information before they can take part in foreign leagues.
