PCB Halts Player NOCs After Asia Cup Loss
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), led by Mohsin Naqvi, is making changes after the team lost to India in the Asia Cup.
They've stopped players from getting permission slips (NOCs) to play in foreign leagues, like the BBL.
This means players such as Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam might not be able to play in these leagues.
The PCB wants players to focus on playing for Pakistan and in local matches.
The board may change the way it gives permission based on how well players do at home and for the national team.
This decision also impacts the player's cash flow.
PCB suspended No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for players wanting to join overseas T20 leagues.
The decision was approved by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
The suspension impacts players, including Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam, who were set to play in leagues like BBL.
The move is intended to encourage players to prioritize domestic and international cricket.
The PCB may link future NOCs to player performance.
