Pakistan Cricket Board player clearance dispute
Overview
A dispute between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and tournament organizers has placed the participation of up to 16 Pakistani cricketers in jeopardy for the Abu Dhabi T10 2026 tournament. The PCB has reportedly demanded USD 10,000 per player to issue No-Objection Certificates (NOCs). Abu Dhabi T10 management has reportedly rejected this demand, suggesting players pay the fees themselves. While some franchise owners considered covering the costs, these proposals were refused.
As the tournament approaches, players such as Naseem Shah, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Fakhar Zaman, and Iftikhar Ahmed face uncertainty. League franchises are reportedly urging players to secure clearance to avoid being replaced by alternates. This standoff follows previous tensions regarding PCB clearance fees for the Nepal Premier League.
