Three Pakistan players granted NOCs for Big Bash League 2023-24

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken a strategic step by issuing no-objection certificates (NOCs) to three talented cricketers – fast bowlers Haris Rauf and Zaman Khan, along with leg-spinner Usama Mir – allowing them to participate in the prestigious Big Bash League (BBL) during the 2023-24 season. This decision is reflective of the PCB's thoughtful approach, considering not only the individual workload of these players but also aligning with the future tours program of the national men's team.
