The PCB has sent a legal notice to Corbin Bosch for breaching his contract with Peshawar Zalmi after he withdrew to join the IPL. Bosch must respond to the notice, detailing his reasons for withdrawal, as PSL 10 is scheduled to start on April 11.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a legal notice to South African cricketer Corbin Bosch for allegedly violating his contractual obligations. Bosch was selected by the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise, Peshawar Zalmi, during the PSL 10 draft in January. However, he opted out of the tournament after being chosen by the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Mumbai Indians, to replace the injured Lizaad Williams.
According to the PCB, Bosch’s draft selection was confirmed in the Diamond category at the HBL PSL Player Draft held on January 13 in Lahore. The notice was delivered through his agent, requiring Bosch to explain his withdrawal from the commitments he made to the PCB. The Board also outlined the possible consequences of his decision to absent himself from the tournament.
The PCB is anticipating a response from Bosch within the specified timeframe. The 30-year-old allrounder made his international debut in December and has participated in only two One Day Internationals (ODIs) and one Test match to date. The PSL 10 is scheduled to begin on April 11, with the defending champions, Islamabad United, facing Lahore Qalandars in the opening match. The tournament, featuring six teams, will consist of a total of 34 matches, running from April 11 to May 18.
In summary, the PCB has taken legal action against Corbin Bosch for breaching his contract with Peshawar Zalmi by withdrawing to play in the IPL. The Board awaits Bosch’s justification and has outlined the ramifications of his actions. As the PSL 10 approaches, with matches starting on April 11, the situation remains significant for both the player and the tournament.
