PSL (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has given a big blow to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Let us tell you that the ECB has banned contracted players from participating in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) during its domestic season. However, the players have received the green signal to play IPL. On the other hand, if we tell you about this new policy of ECB, it will be seen preventing contracted players from participating in foreign cricket leagues during England’s domestic cricket. After this, there is a possibility that English players may not be seen playing in other T20 leagues including Pakistan Super League, Sri Lanka Premier League during the domestic cricket season. The main reason behind this decision of ECB is to maintain the quality of domestic cricket tournaments like County Championship, Vitality Blast and The Hundred. This new policy of ECB prevents English players from participating in two continuously running parallel cricket leagues. Earlier, players could participate in any other event for another team after their team’s exit from a T20 league. However, now it will not be easy for the players to do this. Richard Gould gave a big statement Regarding this new policy, ECB Chief Executive Richard Gould was quoted by NDTV as saying – This policy gives clarity to players and professional counties about our approach to issuing NOC. This will enable us to strike the right balance between supporting players who want to take advantage of the opportunities to earn and gain experience, while also protecting the integrity of cricket globally. It is noteworthy that in the last few years there has been a significant increase in the volume of T20 cricket leagues. Today, almost every country playing Test cricket has its own T20 cricket league. However, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is at the top of all these leagues.
