Lahore :The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced it had given clearance to former captain Shahid Afridi for taking part in the inaugural Sri Lankan Premier League starting later this month.
A senior PCB official confirmed that the board had allowed the Sri Lankan authorities to sign around 10 Pakistani players, including Afridi and Shoaib Malik for the league.
“We gave these permissions and clearance for the players including Afridi sometime back. But now when he individually also applies for a No-Objection Certificate or the Sri Lankan organizers reconfirm his availability, we see no problem in giving him clearance,” according to media reports quoted the PCB officials , as saying.
Afridi, who is currently playing for Hampshire in the domestic T20 cricket in England, was entangled in a feud with the PCB last month after the board revoked his NOC to play for Hampshire.
