PCB To Limit NOCs for National Cricketers Playing All Formats
Few days ago, The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to limit the issuance of No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for national cricketers who play in all three formats.
In a meeting between PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, head coaches, and the International Department, it has been decided to limit the issuance of NOCs for national cricketers who play in all three formats. It was decided that NOCs for cricketers who participate in Test, ODI, and T20 formats will be restricted.
This year, it is likely that these players will not be granted NOCs for participating in various leagues, as Pakistan’s cricket calendar is packed until May next year.
Due to the continuous cricket schedule, the policy on NOCs is being tightened further. By limiting NOCs, players who are active in all formats will be protected from fatigue and injuries.
