Several high-profile international cricketers have abruptly abandoned their contractual commitments in Pakistan to secure lucrative franchise deals in the upcoming Indian Premier League season, severely impacting multiple squads.
During a recent press conference, Mohsin Naqvi shared his stance on player withdrawals. The PCB chief claimed that the Pakistan Super League continues to attract fresh international replacements despite these ongoing challenges.
"For us, it doesn’t make sense to clash with the IPL because there is a strong pool of good players. Even if some players are leaving, a large number are also coming to us."

“After consultations with the Prime Minister and security agencies, we have decided that the PSL will begin on March 26 as planned,” Naqvi stated.
