NEW DELHI: In a development that may impact Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf's participation in the Big Bash League (BBL), the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is anticipated to delay the issuance of his No-Objection Certificate (NOC) until December 11, four days after the commencement of the league. The delay has raised uncertainties about Rauf's availability for the early matches of the BBL, as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
The PCB reportedly intends for the 30-year-old fast bowler to participate in the National T20 Cup in Pakistan, scheduled to conclude on December 10. The apex cricketing body is currently holding Rauf's NOC, and there is no confirmation regarding the immediate issuance of the certificate post the National T20 Cup, according to ESPNcricinfo.
