The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to limit the No Objection Letter (NOC) for national cricketers playing all three formats. The policy aims to protect all format cricketers from injuries and fatigue. Due to continuous cricket this year, the NOC policy is now further restricted.
The policy for all format players was decided in a meeting between Chairman Mohsin Naqvi with Head Coaches and the International Department.
From the Bangladesh series next month to the Champions Trophy 2025, the Pakistan team has to play nine Tests, 14 ODIs, and nine T20 matches.
Naseem Shah has also not been issued a NOC for ‘The Hundred League’. Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan have contracts for the Global T20 League, but Global T20 has not yet been approved by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Players’ NOCs will be considered after the ICC’s approval. The Global T20 League is scheduled in Canada from July 25 to August 11. PCB’s policy is to play two foreign leagues along with the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
