PSL 2022 Draft: Cricket South Africa denies NOC to contracted players but Pakistan Super League unaffected
“It is true that contracted members of the proteas team had their NOCs for the Pakistan Super League refused due to the Proteas international schedule and domestic competitions which must always be prioritised,” Graeme Smith, CSA Director of Cricket, told ESPNCricinfo.
“With an away tour to New Zealand and a home tour against Bangladesh, our contracted players have to be available for their national team duties first and foremost. The same applies with regard to our domestic franchise tournaments which will be starting up soon,” he added.
While Mohammad Huraira (Islamabad United) and Sahibzada Farhan (Karachi Kings) will be affected by the decision, star players Marchant de Lange, Imran Tahir and Rilee Rossouw remain unmoved with no central contract with CSA.
- Islamabad United: Musa Khan, Zahir Khan, Muhammad Huraira
- Karachi Kings: Sahibzada Farhan, Jorda Thompson, Muhammad Taha
- Lahore Qalandars: Muhammad Imran Randhawa, Aqib Javed, Ben Dunk
- Multan Sultans: David Willey, Rizwan Hussain, Johnson Charles and Dominic Drakes
