After the failure of the Pakistan team in the T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistan Cricket Board is taking some step every day. Recently, the PCB has taken a big action and has banned Pakistan's star young fast bowler Naseem Shah from playing in The Hundred Cricket League in England. The PCB has refused to issue a No Objection Certificate or NOC to Naseem Shah to participate in The Hundred.
Naseem was refused NOC
Pakistan Cricket Board sources said that the board has refused to give NOC to Naseem Shah keeping in mind the workload management. PCB has taken this step after considering and considering the application given by Naseem. According to sources, Naseem's application was rejected because Naseem Shah plays in all three formats for Pakistan and was also injured last year, so the board wants to keep him away from injury.
Naseem Shah underwent a comb surgery in October last year. Due to this surgery, he was ruled out of the ODI World Cup 2023. Naseem's absence cost Pakistan heavily and the team was eliminated from the group stage. Naseem was out of the team for 3 months due to injury.
Naseem Shah's responsibility will increase
Pakistan has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh next month. Which is going to start from 21 August. This series will be very important for Pakistan in view of the World Test Championship. Pakistan's Test coach Jason Gillespie has already indicated that Shaheen Afridi may be out of this series. Actually, Shaheen is going to become a father soon, so he may miss the series against Bangladesh. If Shaheen is out, then Naseem Shah's responsibility will increase. Naseem will have to do wonders with the ball against Bangladesh and play an important role in Pakistan's victory.
