The Pakistan Cricket Board has issued no-objection certificates (NOC) to fast bowlers Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan and leg-spinner Usama Mir for the Big Bash League 2023-24. The board has issued the NOCs considering the workload of players and the future tours programme of the national men’s team.
The PCB understands that this decision is in the best interests of all the stakeholders involved while balancing the importance of game time with workload management.
Haris and Usama have been granted NOCs for a total of five matches whereas Zaman has been granted NOC for four matches.
In a bid to balance their participation and national commitments, these NOCs have been allocated within a specific timeframe.
National cricketers have been cleared to participate in Australia’s premier tournament between December 7-28.
Melbourne Stars will be relieved now after they were awaiting clearance for the participation of Rauf. They summoned England’s Olly Stone to fill the gap of Rauf, who had already landed in Melbourne for the BBL.
