 KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a warning to former skipper Shahid Afridi and Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) most expensive franchise Karachi Kings over Afridi transfer.
In a statement released by PCB, the board clarified the rules for recruitment, retention and transfer of players in the league.
The Board stated Afridi still legally belongs to reigning champions Peshawar Zalmi.
“There are only specific times during which teams may trade, retain or release players from the team,†PCB added in the statement.
According to PCB, Karachi Kings can only acquire the services of Shahid Afridi after the transfer window in June.
“All PSL players are signed to a contract that expires prior to the next Draft or the end of the subsequent Retention Window, whichever comes first,†the Board added.
“No retentions or transfers may be made or announced outside the officially announced windows,†the Board explained.
It is pertinent to mention, star all-rounder Shahid Afridi announced his decision to join the Karachi Kings as its president earlier this month.
The cricketer took to Twitter to make his decision public, saying he was ending his services as president and player of Peshawar Zalmi owing to "personal reasons".
