Multiple reports say Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials, including Mohsin Naqvi, are accused of extortion related to obtaining No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for players’ participation in a T20 league. According to the reports, the PCB allegedly asks franchises for a last-minute, unbudgeted payment of $25,000 per player to secure the NOC. The fee is described as roughly Rs. 24 lakh (and about PKR 69 lakh, as cited in one report). The claim is that the demand comes late and was not part of the franchises’ original budgeting. The reports further state that Pakistan players could face a ban from the league if the dispute is not resolved and the NOCs are not provided under the required conditions. The accusations are presented as allegations within the reports, without details on formal proceedings or responses from the PCB. The dispute centers on the alleged payment requirement for player clearance and the resulting impact on their availability for the tournament.
