The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) yesterday terminated the central contract of fast bowler Haris Rauf after he refused to join the Test team for the tour of Australia, which coincided with his stint at Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL).
Rauf, who played for Melbourne Stars in the franchise league, did not join the Pakistan team for a three-match test series against Australia between December 14 and January 7.
“Haris’ central contract has been terminated from December 1, 2023 and no NOC (No objection certificate) to play any foreign league will be granted up to June 30, 2024,” the PCB said in a statement. “The PCB management provided a chance for a personal hearing to Haris in compliance with the principles of natural justice on 30 January 2024 and his response was found unsatisfactory.” — SuperSport.
