Former Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad believes there's a need for transparency in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) with regard to players receiving No Objection Certificates (NOC). The NOC is needed for the players to play in overseas leagues
According to Shehzad, the officials in the PCB provide NOCs only to those players who have an influence on the board, citing favoritism. He also mentioned that the board doesn't provide NOCs to those players with whom they have personal differences.Here's what Ahmed Shehzad was quoted as saying on a local sports platform by Cricket Pakistan:
"In Pakistan cricket, the process of obtaining and granting NOCs (No Objection Certificates) has never been smooth. There is a lot of favoritism involved.
Within the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board), favoritism is rampant even in these matters. They issue NOCs to their like-minded players or those who have some influence. When they want to unnecessarily hassle someone, they withhold their NOC."
Shehzad has also earlier questioned the leadership group in the Pakistan team on having selections based on friendships and not merit.
