US EditionPCB blocks Pakistan stars from playing in overseas T20 leagues
The Pakistan Cricket Board halted all overseas T20 league NOCs to prioritize national performance, affecting seven key players including Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi, officials said.
- On September 29, the Pakistan Cricket Board suspended all no-objection certificates for players to join overseas T20 leagues, effectively revoking prior approvals.
- A day after the loss, officials announced plans to link No Objection Certificates to player evaluations and performances under a new performance-based approval system.
- Seven top players, including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi, now have their NOCs on hold, affecting Big Bash League and International League T20 participation.
- Players and agents were told the suspension leaves them in limbo with unclear timelines and no exemptions, and those failing standards may work at the National Cricket Academy before overseas contracts.
- To boost domestic performance, the PCB pointed to the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy starting in October while noting the International League T20 auction on October 1 and the Big Bash League on December 14.
