PCB grants NOCs to 12 Pakistani cricketers

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has granted no-objection certificates (NOCs) to 12 cricketers, allowing them to participate in various international leagues and tournaments.

This decision enables players to showcase their talents globally while adhering to PCB's policies.

Mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed will compete in Major League Cricket from July 4 to July 28, while Fakhar Zaman will join the Caribbean Premier League, spanning from August 29 to October 6.

Pacer Haris Rauf is set to play in Major League Cricket from July 5 to July 28, and Mohammad Amir will represent County Cricket from July 4 to July 20.

Additionally, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Hasnain (a non-centrally contracted player), Salman Ali Agha, and Shadab Khan will all participate in the Lanka Premier League from July 1 to July 21.

Sharjeel Khan and Sohaib Maqsood are slated for the World Championship of Legends, scheduled from July 3 to July 13.

Usama Mir will compete in The Hundred, scheduled from July 23 to August 20, and Zaman Khan will join Major League Cricket from July 4 to July 28.

However, Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batsman Azam Khan and opening batsman Saim Ayub could not obtain NOCs as they are part of the Guyana Warriors for the upcoming CPL 2024.

Azam also recently opted out of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) in adherence to the PCB's policy of granting NOCs to players for participation in a maximum of two leagues annually.
