London: Former Pakistan captain Shahid Khan Afridi will not play for English county Hampshire due to cancellation of his NOC by PCB.
Shahid Afridi said he was “disappointed” to be missing out on playing for defending champions Hampshire in this season’s English county Twenty20 competition after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) effectively banned him from playing abroad.
Afridi had his central contract suspended by the PCB on Tuesday, having announced his retirement from international cricket.
Afridi has submitted the reply of a show cause notice issued by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Afridi had been signed by Hampshire as one of their two overseas players and was due to turn out for them on the opening day of the Twenty20 season later on Wednesday.
