The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to 13 players, including Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, allowing them to participate in various global franchise leagues.
Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, Babar Azam, and Shadab Khan have confirmed their availability for the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) Draft, which is scheduled for June 19.
As a result, the cricket board has issued NOC to the quartet from December 14 to 28.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the PCB provided a list of the 13 players who have been granted NOCs to compete in overseas leagues worldwide.
Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi have specifically received NOCs to take part in the Big Bash League in 2025. The PCB issued these NOCs to the three senior players, who have been absent from Pakistan’s T20I squad recently.
Earlier this year, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were dropped from the national team for the T20I series against New Zealand. They, along with Shaheen Afridi, also missed the recent T20I home series against Bangladesh.
Additionally, the cricket board issued an NOC to Mohammad Nawaz, permitting him to first participate in the Guyana Super League, followed by participation in another unnamed league.
Muhammad Hassan Khan has also received clearance from the PCB to play in the same unnamed league.
Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir has been granted an NOC until July 18 to play for Essex in the T20 Blast.
Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood has been granted an NOC to represent Leicestershire in the County Championship until September 1.
Furthermore, the PCB issued NOCs to pacers Mohammad Abbas, Hasan Ali, and Khurram Shahzad for participation in the County Championship.
Emerging Batter Khawaja Nafay has also received permission to participate in the Global Super League.
