Mohammad Haris forced to return Pakistan without playing BPL due to denial of NOC by PCB!

[MenInG]

Mohammad Haris put an Instagram story with a picture of his baggage after he returned to Peshawar from Dhaka without playing a single game in the Bangladesh Premier League.

Saj made some enquiries about this.

Pretty shameful if true - as of course there are always 2 sides to a story.

[Slim]

I am sure plane fare is not a problem for a rich player like Haris but i am not sure what PCB's angle here is. They rested him in NZ series yet they are not allowing him to play further and have issued NOCs to players who just played the NZ series??

 

[Kianig89]

A Cash and Carry store has more regulations and standards than PCB, shambolic attitude

 

[Rana]

They are targeting him for some weird reason.

None of this is making any sense. Not picked for the T20i series even though he was carried around for the Asia cup and World Cup.

Rizwan is playing for his BPL side having played non stop for 3-4 months but this guy Harris hasn’t got his NOC having played nothing in the same period, besides committing to your national T20 cup

 

[Concerned]

Not sure what the PCB have against a new player still developing.

Probably made one of the dosti yaari clique members angry. It is absolutely disgusting how Saim and Haris are being dealt with.

If I am Saim and Haris then out of respect for myself I will seriously consider going the Imran Tahir route. Yes, stiffer competition. But a level playing field in county and SA domestics and more fulfillment than playing for the bum cricket board that is PCB.

Tbh Saim probably felt like this as did Haris and Fakhar when they saw Rizwan with his run a ball garbage this series batting ahead of them.

M Haris BRUTALLY exposed Rizwan and Babar in the t20 WC in Australia and now they are trying to make him pay. He was at another level to them.

Bro they are better of going to Canada or UAE. They will get to represent and help grow those cricket nations. Plus money will not be an issue as there is lots of money to be made in these parts of the world.

 

[gazza619]

Flexing muscles against the weak is part of our culture.

 

[Rana]

So the reason they have given apparently is that Harris already played his 2 allowed franchise leagues,

Why then did they say it is ok for him to travel to Bangladesh? Why mess him around?

 

[Rana]

One has to also question Harris’s agent

Why are you finding deals for him in Canada T20 league when you know he can only play 2 leagues outside of PSL? What benefit is there to playing Canada T20 league?

 

[Ali Active]

why are they messing woth mohd harris first they don’t play him in nz series for no reason and now he can’t play leagues wth is wrong with pcb .

 

[Rana]

Imagine you are only allowed to play 2 leagues as a central contracted player

And you blow one of your two lives on Canada Pro T20 league

Come on man!

 

[YousafTheBeast]

I really can’t wait for Wahab to be sacked, I might even buy myself a cake.

Mohammad Haris should announce his international retirement, call out Wahab and move to the USA.

 

[Bewal Express]

Mohammad Haris put an Instagram story with a picture of his baggage after he returned to Peshawar from Dhaka without playing a single game in the Bangladesh Premier League.

He also spoke to Saj about his ordeal.

Pretty shameful if true - as of course there are always 2 sides to a story.

The PCB under these clowns is a total embarrassment. But look at how they run the country and its no surprise

 

[Rana]

PCB and mentally torturing players story

No wonder Amir and Imad just left us.

 

[Saj]

Telling a player he will get a NOC and then declining it is highly unprofessional and typical of the current PCB regime.

 

[sweep_shot]

Why would his NOC be not granted?

That's odd.

 

[Rana]

Telling a player he will get a NOC and then declining it is highly unprofessional and typical of the current PCB regime.

I would say it’s pretty callous, not just unprofessional.

Maybe Harris’s agent was putting a lot of pressure on the PCB to give him the NOC, and the PCB thought it’s ok to mess him around by promising to give him one and then pulling the plug when he arrived in Bangladesh.

Maybe Harris travelled to Bangladesh before the PCB gave him permission to travel and that really peeved them?

 

[PakEngFan]

Haris should be playing FC if he's selected for one. Not this Mickey mouse. He has so much talent but lack of temperament and innings building is holding him back.

 

[Saj]

Haris agent has told me that he sorted out the deal after approval from the PCB.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Haris should be playing FC if he's selected for one. Not this Mickey mouse. He has so much talent but lack of temperament and innings building is holding him back.

Yeah valid point, I am wondering why he is not playing in the President's Trophy.

 

[Major]

its just soo funny when you see the way Wahab Riaz and Amir would sit on Tv bashing PCB at that time and going on about communication and how its important, yadda yadda yadda.

As soon as they get the job, they make mistakes much more worse.

Which is why its always easy for some of these cricketers to sit on tv and let the professionals do there job as they know what they are doing.

Cricketers with little education should not be given such posts because players careers are at stake.

 

[pakistani pride]

Is there no domestic cricket going on in Pak (4 day)?
He shouldnt be playing in such leauges anyway.

Its time for players with potential for example M. Haris and S Ayub to play as much as possible 4 day games and as little as possible T20 cricket. I mean whats the point in playing the Bangla leauge and soon after the PSL, then we wonder why young players cant build an innings, all they do is play T20 cricket.

 

[da_don]

maybe someone in pcb is making way for azam khan to take haris spot

Wahab actually comes from an educated background.

Education doesnt guarantee common sense infact it can be the opposite as many uk uni s prove.

There are plenty of dumb "educated people" if you get my drift.

Muhammad Harris should be getting maximum playing time to refine his skills.

Ridiculous move from the PCB.

 

[Saj]

PCB is now trying to blame the player and agent and are saying they didn't give approval to Haris.

 

[Major]

There is a famous saying in Pakistan. Whenever dealing with a govt institute here, before submitting anything from them or getting an approval, always get written proof.

PCB is also becoming another runned down govt institute of the country

 

[Sadozai]

Who in PCB is responsible for issuance/non-issuance of NOCs?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

PCB have royally messed this young lad around.

 

[Kianig89]

Who in PCB is responsible for issuance/non-issuance of NOCs?

PCB have visionary jets working for them, Zakir Khan , Usman Ahmed Wasim Bari and so and son

 

[moghul]

A Cash and Carry store has more regulations and standards than PCB, shambolic attitude

Because cash and carry store owners want their store to be successful, PCB has other things in mind.

 

[moghul]

For what PCB is punishing young Haris ? first he was dropped from the national team and now this ???

 

[RidiculousMan]

They are targeting him for some weird reason.

Rizwan is playing for his BPL side having played non stop for 3-4 months but this guy Harris hasn’t got his NOC having played nothing in the same period, besides committing to your national T20 cup

This has happened with him too many times recently. He may very well be under a target from someone.

 

[Rana]

Ok so I am reading that Harris just flew to Bangladesh without an NOC, and his franchise refused to let him play until they saw the NOC from Bangladesh

Respect to BCB.

Harris better do some explaining instead of posting cryptic social media messages.

I’m all for justice. But the story must add up. And the rules/policy’s in place must be followed.

 

[Rana]

PCB is now trying to blame the player and agent and are saying they didn't give approval to Haris.

The question is, Did anyone from the PCB tell him it’s ok to fly off to Bangladesh?

 

[Saj]

The question is, Did anyone from the PCB tell him it’s ok to fly off to Bangladesh?

Yes, according to the player and his representatives.

 

[Rana]

Yes, according to the player and his representatives.

If that’s the case, it makes no sense for them to not give him an noc now.

 

[hafizexpress]

Haris says yes. PCB says no. This is a major conflict that could dent his career that is barely a career yet.

 

[hitthestump]

maybe someone in pcb is making way for azam khan to take haris spot

Quite possible.

His exclusion from NZ made no sense given we took Haseebullah over him.

Now to stop him from playing league cricket when all he’ll be doing instead is sitting on his hands is completely illogical.

We can only speculate but it is obviously a point of interest that he is in direct competition for the same spot as Azam Khan.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Yes, according to the player and his representatives.

Also I think I have never seen a case where a player was asked to fly and then be given NOC. The normal procedure has always been to get an NOC first/cleared and then proceed with your plans as a player.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

If that’s the case, it makes no sense for them to not give him an noc now.

Can’t really trust the PCB here, it didn’t make sense to “rest” him for the NZ series…so I’ve lost complete faith in this current PCB set up.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar 100 MPH]

We ideally need a PCA type setup to protect our players interests.

However that would require an I K like figure or the man himself for that sort of revolution to take place.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

This is how you force your young talents to consider taking retirement from national duties just because of this pathetic behavior.

 

[Nasty Naz]

There need to be serious questions asked of PCB and how they are allowed to treat players like this.

Firstly, he has been unfairly dropped from the squad and used "rest" as an excuse for a player being selected in only one format. If it's performance related reason, then it doesn't make any sense.

Secondly, he hasn't played in this comical departmental FC setup at all despite main WK playing in Australia and some random no name WK scrubs are playing over them in a nation that has produced some of the least talented WK in their history. In fact, they have only played Haris in 5 FC matches in his entire career. That is ridiculous for a talented player like him. A good organization invests in their players and helps with their development. PCB will be like you are not technically correct and nor will be give you the chances & development to make those correction and then later asking, why haven't you improved your technical game? Same applies for Azam Khan who wasn't playing in the ongoing FC cricket and before anyone says its because they were preparing for the upcoming T20 matches, that is utter rubbish as players like Ifti were playing.

Thirdly, there is zero to prevent Haris from playing in this league. You don't select him for the T20 squad, then you don't play him in the ongoing FC and then when he has a chance to play some cricket instead of just sitting home, you want to prevent that? And all because of some made up 2 NOC crap that makes zero sense?

I don't think people realize how poorly Pakistani cricketers are treated compared to other professional sports and I think its only a matter of time before these players get fed up and start a union, which they totally should.

 

[topspin]

Awful from the PCB but expected behaviour by them.

They always had a habit of rewarding the unjust and punishing the weak.

You can play for yourself in a World Cup Semi-Final and lose the game for your team and become the new captain of the side in a matter of months.

 

[Rana]

Haris says yes. PCB says no. This is a major conflict that could dent his career that is barely a career yet.

This.

The PCB should clarify what they have done here, but it will seriously damage this kid.

Harris is on the verge of becoming the next Umar Akmal, these things will only lead you on a downward spiral.

 

[PakEngFan]

He will be to blame. He should prioritize FC cricket rather than t20s. He's played 5 FC games in his whole career. He around around 4 years now.

 

[Rana]

So what’s the crack? Is he not playing the 4 day tournament because he doesn’t make the team or is it because he doesn’t want to?

 

[hafizexpress]

It's sad because Umar Akmal at least was able to give some decent years to Pakistan despite his inconsistencies. He has played some memorable and notable innings in his troublesome career. Haris on the other hand, has barely been able to show his full potential. Whatever has happened between him and the board has happened too early.

 

[mazkhan]

He's a new phenomena that is a disease that will effect many future players

A t20 mercenary

Looks like someone who has given up on red ball and just specialising as a white ball player so early on his career

 

[pakistani pride]

He should be playing domestic cricket. These players, especially the younger ones should focus on 4 day cricket. Why are they playing evert single T20 leauge anyways.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Salman Butt in an interview addressing NOC issues:


"If you are firm enough in stating that nobody will receive more than 2 NOCs and now a certain month after other NOCs will become valid so you should stick to your word. But when you have the flexibility as with any league to reach agreements. For example, we have an agreement with them that we will provide them four of our players so which is why we are giving a 3rd NOC for them. However for other players who are not receiving enough NOCs it may create a sense of injustice for them."

"Either you do one thing those who are in the Pakistan team they are on national duty but those players who are not receiving NOCs and they are not being selected either simply give them NOCs otherwise these individuals will undoubtedly feel neglected, potentially leading to a display of double standards. It's important to acknowledge that our cricket board hierarchy may not perceive any issues with such double standards handling one player with different intentions than another. For instance, one player consistently breaks the rules without facing consequences while another faces scrutiny for a minor infraction. There seems to be a lack of consistent rule enforcement for everyone."

 

[gazza619]

Money. And why not.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

He should be playing domestic cricket. These players, especially the younger ones should focus on 4 day cricket. Why are they playing evert single T20 leauge anyways.

They also have the right to earn money because most of them come from poor backgrounds. What our domestic circuit is offering them like playing four-day cricket how much they will earn?

 

[Asad T]

He should be playing domestic cricket. These players, especially the younger ones should focus on 4 day cricket. Why are they playing evert single T20 leauge anyways.

He is a white ball specialist. It’s in Paks best interest to play as much T20 cricket as he can, especially if he’s not in the T20 team.

There is no point him playing on the useless Presidents Trophy. Such a poor format, poor pitches and poor quality cricket there. BPL would be better for his development

 

[Nasty Naz]

Before people utter this rubbish, why don't you look at facts first?

Departments haven't played him in a single match during the ongoing FC season. So he is not going to be on the T20 squad, not going to be played by domestic teams because they love playing old rubbish players instead and he shouldn't be going to T20 leagues to play & make money? Same goes for Azam Khan who they chose not to play and then people somehow crucify these players for playing T20's. What are these supposed to do, just chill on the bench for their entire career and mediocre earnings?

PCB are a joke & a disgrace. They've only played him in 5 FC matches in his entire career and then people somehow blame the player for not playing domestically. They even selected him to be on a reserve squad for ODI's as a player who's played like 5-6 ODI's and ended up missing the entire FC season as a result. But it's the player's fault amiright? Ridiculous notion.

 

[BouncerGuy]

This is pathetic from PCB. First, you gave the players the NOCs and now refusing them at the very last moment. This will not only affect the player financially but also will make the BPL management think about not selecting Pakistan Players for future seasons as they can not be trusted with this NOC stuff.

[Shafi]

Our players are way to greedy.They want to play in the national team not because of pride but as a recognition for franchise companies. Once they successful then they keep slacking off fitness and performance in national team. PCB should ask them to play 1 league beside PSL otherwise they should retire and play 20-30 leagues.

Look at the reactions of certain posters, with regards to my poat

This, I am not surprised at some of the reactions on my post in this thread. If M Haris wants to play 4 day cricket, he surely will be able to do so (being a national team player). Fact is many of our players only want to play T20 leauge cricket. He is no exception.

If you never give them a chance on merit and drop them without any reason so obviously they will prefer to play in leagues, which is their right.

Okay so explain why haven't any departments played Haris or Azam during on the ongoing FC season? They were not in Australia and the WK slots had even less talent with Rizwan & Sarfraz on that tour. So why were these guys not played a single match in the FC tournament? They were played during the domestic T20 tournament.

Why is this? Please elaborate.

And then people have the gull to blame the player when the board itself isn't playing him purposely in FC, nor allowing to play cricket elsewhere on some ridiculous & arbitrary NOC rule that makes zero sense whatsoever. Based on the way PCB treats its players, it won't be long before players are refusing to sign central contracts and have the option to play in as many leagues as they like.

 

[ads101]

It’s in his best interest not be on a central contract. He specialises in t20, and isn’t focusing on tests (which I don’t blame him for his choice). Thus he will make more money through playing as many t20 leagues as he wants to rather than a limit. PCB will stick pick him for t20s internationally if he is good enough, especially if he displays performance in these leagues. Isn’t that what Azam does? I think anyone who is more a t20 specialist, central contract doesn’t make too much sense.

 

[BouncerGuy]

I think haris should have been asked by PCB that what are the 2 leagues that he wants to play this year, and then grant him NOC for those 3 leagues of this is the rule that PCB is only gonna allow 2 leagues per year. Ask the player about his preference and if that league is not clashing with national duty then he should be given NOC otherwise not. All this goes for other players as well.

 

[da_don]

why the double standards
azam has played cpl, glt20, and now ilt20
