Two foreign leagues for Pakistan players

The centrally contracted Pakistan players will only be allowed to play in two foreign leagues other than the Pakistan Super League (PSL). This was decided in today’s Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) meeting, which has agreed upon several changes.

The decision has been made to prevent the issue of fatigue affecting the players, reports the Daily Express.

According to the Daily Express, all contracted players will only be issued No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) for participation in two leagues other than the PSL each year.

The change was hinted upon by PCB Chairman Najam Sethi, who had stated after Pakistan’s series against New Zealand that the board will ask head coach Mickey Arthur to devise a fitness plan for each player in order to ensure the players don’t look as tired and fatigued as they did in the tour Down Under.

Sethi headed the meeting in which Director of Cricket Operations Haroon Rasheed, Director International Cricket Academy Mudassar Nazar, member governing board Mansoor Masood, Quetta Gladiators team owner Nadeem Umar were also all present.
