New Delhi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has slapped a one-year ban on South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch from participating in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The decision was taken after Bosch ended his contract with PSL side Peshawar Zalmi to join Indian Premier league franchise Mumbai Indians as a replacement player.
Bosch, was picked by the Babar Azam-led side Peshawar Zalmi during the last PSL 10 draft, which took place in Lahore earlier in January this year. However, the all-rounder opted to back out of the PSL and chose joining the Mumbai Indians in IPL replacing South African fast bowler Lizaad Williams, who has been injured.
Bosch ineligible for next year’s PSL
In an official statement released by the PCB, the ban on Bosch was confirmed and it was also notified that he will not be eligible for selection in the next year’s PSL. The Pakistan board has emphasised on the importance of their stance on player commitment and professionalism especially for those who have entered into contractual obligations with PSL franchises.
Bosch has responded to the sanction issuing a statement released by the Pakistan Cricket Board. ‘I deeply regret my decision to withdraw from the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) and offer my sincere apologies to the people of Pakistan, the fans of Peshawar Zalmi, and the wider cricket community’.
‘The HBL PSL is a prestigious tournament, and I fully understand the disappointment caused by my actions. To the loyal fans of Peshawar Zalmi, I am truly sorry for letting you down. I take full responsibility for my actions and accept the consequences, including the penalty fine and the one-year ban from the HBL PSL. This has been a hard lesson, but I am committed to learning from this experience and hope to return to the HBL PSL in the future with renewed dedication and the trust of the fans,” Bosch said in a statement issued by PCB.
