PCB's Late NOC Fee Demand Causes Pakistani Players to Miss Abu Dhabi T10 League
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has demanded a USD 10,000 no-objection certificate (NOC) fee for each player participating in global franchise leagues, leading to Pakistani players missing the Abu Dhabi T10 League starting Saturday. Franchises, caught off guard by the late fee demand, are urgently seeking replacements for 14-15 Pakistani players initially signed. Similar issues have affected other leagues like Nepal Premier League and Major League USA, where higher NOC fees have also been requested, causing player withdrawals and disruptions.
