PCB accused of seeking USD 25,000 per player for Nepal Premier League NOCs
League officials accuse the PCB of seeking USD 25,000 per player for NOCs to play in the Nepal Premier League, a claim the board has not addressed.
League officials say the PCB is demanding USD 25,000 for each Pakistan player's No Objection Certificate to play in the Nepal Premier League, according to ESPNcricinfo. The board has not responded.
Several Pakistan players have contracts for the tournament, including T20I captain Sahibzada Farhan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Hasan Ali, Haider Ali, Hussain Talat, Usama Mir and Hunain Shah. None are needed for Pakistan's current international fixtures.
The fee is tied to administrative clearance, not a scheduling clash. Without a reply from the PCB, it's unclear whether the players will get clearance in time to join their franchises.

If the fee sticks, the players will absorb the cost themselves, because the franchises won't add it to their contracts at this stage.
