@Source: news18.com
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday (April 10) has banned South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch from taking part in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) for a year after he chose to cancel his current deal with PSL team Peshawar Zalmi and join Indian Premier League side Mumbai Indians as a replacement player for South African fast bowler Lizaad Williams.
The 30-year-old Bosch was picked by Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi in the Diamond category during the tenth edition of the PSL Player Draft, held in Lahore on January 13.
Due to the one-year ban now, Bosch will not be eligible for selection in next year’s Pakistan Super League.
According to a release shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday, Bosch has expressed his regrets over the decision to withdraw from the PSL.
“I deeply regret my decision to withdraw from the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) and offer my sincere apologies to the people of Pakistan, the fans of Peshawar Zalmi and the wider cricket community,” Bosch said in a statement released by PCB.
“The HBL PSL is a prestigious tournament, and I fully understand the disappointment caused by my actions. To the loyal fans of Peshawar Zalmi, I am truly sorry for letting you down. “I take full responsibility for my actions and accept the consequences, including the penalty fine and the one-year ban from the HBL PSL. This has been a hard lesson, but I am committed to learning from this experience and hope to return to the HBL PSL in the future with renewed dedication and the trust of the fans,” he added.
Bosch’s record for SA
Bosch made his international debut for South Africa last year against Pakistan during an ODI match played in Johannesburg on December 22. He has played one Test and two ODIs for the Temba Bavuma-led side so far and has scored 81 and 55 runs, respectively, in addition to taking up seven (5 in Tests, 2 in ODIs) wickets.
He was part of MI Cape Town in SA20 2025 and played a big role in the Rashid Khan-led side’s title win.
