LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has served a legal notice to South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch for breaching his contractual obligations with the Pakistan Super League (PSL) on Sunday.
Corbin Bosch was selected by Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL player draft on January 13 in Lahore.
However, Indian Premier League (IPL) Mumbai Indians had also signed him as a replacement for his compatriot injured Lizaad Williams.
Bosch’s signing means he will forgo his PSL contract, as the IPL begins on March 22 and overlaps with the PSL’s April-May schedule.
According to the report, the player is alleged to have violated the terms of his contract. Pakistan Cricket Board has sent a legal notice to all-rounder Corbin Bosch through his agent.
The PCB management has outlined the implications and potential consequences of his withdrawal from the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League.
“Bosch was picked by Peshawar Zalmi in the Diamond category during the tenth edition of HBL PSL Player Draft, held in Lahore on 13 January,” the PCB said in a statement on Sunday.
“The legal notice was served through his agent, and the player has been asked to justify his actions of withdrawing from his professional and contractual commitments.”
For the unversed, the PSL 10 will begin on Friday, 11 April, with defending champions Islamabad United taking on champions Lahore Qalandars two times at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
The six-team tournament will see 34 matches from 11 April to 18 May, with Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium set to host 13 matches, including two Eliminators and the final.
Also, the upcoming edition will feature an exhibition match, which will be played on 8 April in Peshawar. The teams of the match will be confirmed in due course.
According to the PSL 10 schedule, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will host 11 matches, including Qualifier 1 on 13 May. Karachi’s National Bank Stadium and Multan Cricket Stadium will host five matches each.
The marquee event will also feature three double-headers, with two matches on weekends (Saturday) and one on a national holiday (Labour Day).
Karachi Kings, the winners of the league’s fifth edition, will begin their campaign on 12 April in their own backyard against runners-up of the last edition, Multan Sultans.
The first PSL 10 match in Multan will be played on 22 April between the Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars.
The newly constructed Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium will welcome the tenth edition of the PSL on 24 April with home side Qalandars, winners of the seventh and eighth editions, taking on Peshawar Zalmi.
Peshawar Zalmi, champions of the PSL 2017, will play their five matches at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, while the winners of the fourth edition, Quetta Gladiators, will play five matches at the Gaddafi Stadium.
