The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday issued no-objection certificates (NOC) to fast bowlers Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan, and leg-spinner Usama Mir for their participation in the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) 2023-24, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.
The decision comes with considerations for the players' workload and the future tours programme of the national men's team.
Haris and Usama have been granted NOCs for a total of five matches whereas Zaman has been granted NOC for four matches.
The specified matches are scheduled to take place from December 7 to December 28, aligning with the players' availability and the broader objectives of the national team.
“The PCB understands that this decision is in the best interests of all the stakeholders involved while balancing the importance of game time with workload management,” the cricket board said in a statement.
Rauf is currently in Category B, the second-highest slab, of the PCB contracts, while Zaman and Mir are in Category D, the lowest category.
The PCB aims to strike a balance between providing players with valuable game time and effectively managing their workload to ensure peak performance.
