Overview
- Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg said the clearances for Pakistan’s BBL signings came through last week and all are expected to play.
- The approvals follow the PCB’s late-September suspension of No-Objection Certificates for overseas T20 leagues that unsettled BBL plans.
- Reports list the cleared players as Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali and Hassan Khan.
- CA engaged with the PCB during the dispute, though neither board has disclosed the mechanics of how the impasse was resolved.
- The BBL runs from December 14 to January 25, with Babar slated to debut for the Sydney Sixers in the opener against the Perth Scorchers at Perth Stadium.
