Initially, the PCB had decided not to issue NOCs to its players for the inaugural Emirates Cricket League and SA League due to international and domestic commitments, but the boards of Pakistan and West Indies agreed to postpone a T20 series. The board has changed its stance.

The T20 series against West Indies was scheduled in January 2023 but will now take place in early 2024.

“Cently contracted and non-contracted players can now make themselves available for other leagues to be held during this time frame, except for the SA League and Emirates League,” an official source said.

He said the PCB changed its mind when the South African board announced that each of the six franchises could sign an additional wildcard player after the players’ auction was completed a few weeks ago.

No Pakistani player was allowed to take part in the auction. Most of the teams in the SA League are owned by Indians and the same is true in the Emirates League.

The source added that players can also sign up for the Bangladesh Premier League if they are the ones to take on them.

Two Pakistani youngsters, Azam Khan and Muhammad Hasnain, were not approached by the Indian-owned franchise in the ECL, but the board refused to give them NOCs as it has made a policy that none of its players will play in the ECL. .
