The Pakistan Cricket Board and the organisers of the Abu Dhabi T10 League have reached an agreement on No-Objection Certificates for Pakistani cricketers, with the league providing the board compensation and facilities worth up to $200,000.
According to sources, the deal sharply raises the chance that Pakistani players will feature in the tournament due to begin on November 7. Franchises and players had asked the PCB to issue NOCs after the board earlier sought a fee of $10,000 per certificate, leaving teams scrambling days before the start.
Sixteen Pakistani players were picked by five of the six teams in the draft, including Shadab Khan, Mohammad Amir, Fakhar Zaman and Naseem Shah. Last month a similar NOC dispute affected Pakistani participation in the Nepal Premier League, with several players returning without playing.
