The T20 league hosts multiple franchises across Asian countries with their former cricketers, including multiple legends. Former cricketers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan were named for the Asian Legends League.
After the statement from the Zambia Cricket Union, the nation's cricket managing board, the Pakistan Cricket Board, issued a statement in which they mentioned that the former cricketers, who played in the tournament without prior approval from them, would be served a two-year ban.
Pakistan Panthers played two matches in the Asian Legends League 2026
The team took part in a couple of matches. According to PCB's statement, players who played in the league will come under notice. The originally announced Pakistan Panthers' squad had stars like Umar Akmal, Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Wahab Riaz and multiple other notable names who represented the national cricket team in the past.
Which players could be banned by PCB?
ESPNCricinfo, in their report, claimed that Mohammad Hafeez, Sohail Tanvir, and Umar Akmal arrived in Lusaka but changed their minds as soon as they learnt approval from the International Cricket Council (ICC) was not forthcoming.
"A ban of two years from the issuance of any PCB No Objection Certificate (NOC) for participation in approved overseas cricket leagues or events. [And] Ineligibility for any cricketing, coaching, consultancy, mentoring and/or other assignments with the PCB and the PSL for a period of two years," it added.
The expected follow-ups in response to the cricket board's official release will clear the situation. Players who played in those two matches are likely to communicate with the Pakistan Cricket Board regarding the matter.
