KARACHI : Pakistan Cricket Team former Captain and Super Star Shahid Khan Afridi is in trouble over the issue of transfer of his PSL Franchise as Pakistan Cricket Broad has declared such transfer as illegal without consent of the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Shahid Afridi has recently changed his franchise team from Peshawar Zalmi to Karachi Kings.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a warning to former skipper Shahid Afridi and the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Karachi Kings over the transfer rules of the league.
In a statement, the Board clarified the rules regarding the recruitment, retention and transfer of players in the PSL, adding that Afridi still legally belongs to Peshawar Zalmi.
“There are only specific times during which teams may trade, retain or release players from the team,” read the statement.
“All PSL players are signed to a contract that expires prior to the next Draft or the end of the subsequent Retention Window, whichever comes first,” the Board added.
“There are three parties who sign the contract, which are the player, the franchise and the PCB. No party may announce this contract as terminated except for the PCB, which may only happen with all parties’ mutual consent and only during the Transfer or Retention Windows,” it clarified.
“No retentions or transfers may be made or announced outside the officially announced windows,” the Board added.
