Chairman PCB Managing Committee Zakashraf expressed his concerns about issuing NOCs to players for foreign leagues before the World Cup. Speaking to the media in Lahore, Zakashraf openly discussed concerns about players potentially getting injured while participating in leagues.
He mentioned that there were five players who were granted NOCs for foreign leagues before he assumed office, and when he raised concerns about this matter with the board, he was informed that the previous chairman had issued the NOCs.
Zakashraf explained that since the NOCs had already been issued, contracts with the teams were signed, and it wasn't appropriate to revoke them.
He reiterated that Shadab Khan is a renowned and talented player, expressing hope that he would perform well and showcase his abilities.
