[Reports] PCB bans Afghanistan players from upcoming PSL Season

[BouncerGuy]

As per reports:

The PCB has barred Afghan players from the upcoming PSL season after several cricketers removed PSL mentions from their social media bios, which officials viewed as disrespectful. The move signals a halt in Pakistan–Afghanistan cricket ties, with no bilateral engagements planned beyond ICC events.

 

[Ball Blazer]

A right move. They started removing PSL from their bios. Rashid too did it, removing LQ from his socials.

 

[Devadwal]

This is another 2009 IPL types move and rest is history

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I don't think this news is true.

 

[mominsaigol]

Who cares

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is the kind of thing that India would do to Pakistan. You can't cry about India politicizing the sport while doing the same thing with Afghanistan. Just because Afghanistan decided to politicize the sport by pulling out of the tri-series doesn't mean you should stoop to their level.

You should definitely stoop to their level. Why shouldn’t Pakistan react to Afghanistan’s belligerent behavior which predate the current crisis? Both Afghan officials (verbally) and physically (afghan fans) have attacked Pakistan cricket and Pakistan cricket fans in the past without any consequence.

Pakistan can not be expected to turn the other cheek to continued provocation by Afghanistan or anyone else. And as a non-Pakistani neutral, I wish Pakistan showed some spine for once and not slavishly suck up to India and Afghanistan.

It's a typical pattern. The powerful abuses the weak in a similar way he is/was abused

 

[Katwalindian]

This is another 2009 IPL types move and rest is history

Australia, New Zealand already refused to play afghan in bilaterals....England didn't gives them series as well, SA hardly plays them, Pakistan now also cut ties, India only give the 3 t20s in last three years....keep playing Ireland, naimbia, westindies and boosting stats.... ........

 

[zaidihusain]

Right decision. Now Afghan players can comfortably enjoy dinner at Irfan Pathan’s residence and even dance with him

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Afghanistan players were not coming anyway. There is plenty of T20 leagues around the world. This can't be compared to IPL ban on Pakistani players.

 

[HaiderAmmar]

There should be no politics in sports. Pakistan shouldn’t block Afghan players from participating. Instead, it should allow them to play and expect the Afghan players themselves to step back if they feel a moral obligation. This way, Pakistan demonstrates the higher moral ground. Otherwise, Pakistan only reinforces the idea that India’s own behaviour is justified.

What cricket is happening during IPL and PSL?

What cricket is happening during IPL and PSL?

Most of the Afghanistan top players are playing in the IPL.

 

[Double Trouble]

The chest pumping Afghan loyal players should also sell their properties in PK as well to confirm loyalty.

Disappointed with Afghan team who hardly play any bilaterals anyway apart from minnows so why shoot yourself in the foot saying we ain’t playing Pak or in the PSL.

 

[Katwalindian]

Afghanistan and top should not be in same sentence

Sorry but we cant advocate for blanket bans on players.

And the PCB has not officially done this either

I think it is planted news to stoke further divisions.

Who played the last World T20 semifinals - india , South Africa, Afghanistan and England.

Who defeated Australia, NZ in World T20 2026 - Afghanistan, where Pakistan knockout after losing the match against USA.

Who defeated England in champion trophy 2025 - Afghanistan

Who defeated Pakistan , England in World Cup 2023 - Afghanistan

Yea that's why 3-0 result in the Asia cup.

Forget about india , we are league of own when comes to T20 6.

Wait for World T20 2026 , if pakistan and Afghanistan face to each other in super 8 , Afghanistan will thrashed Pakistan yet again.

 

[GudduBadmash]

Precisely they wont be the ones missing out since they get picked everywhere around the world. It is the loss of the PSL not having players like Rashid Khan

[Savak]

The government of Afghanistan banned Afghanistan from touring Pakistan and the Afghani players welcomed, celebrated that decision. Why should we welcome them and allow them to play in the PSL?

 

[Barragan]

Terrible decision!

Let those that want to participate be allowed.

Those that don't want to partake, they will decide themselves to not put their names in for the draft

Because cricket is a sport, it's not an outlet to parrot your state policy and air real-world grievances. Cricket is supposed to transcend this nonsense, not become another extension of it. The second you justify “stooping to their level,” you’ve already admitted that the sport no longer matters, only nationalism does. Doubling down with the same behavior doesn’t make Pakistan look strong, it makes Pakistan look petty and reactionary. The very same thing Pakistani fans have rightly accused India of for years.

It's a bit laughable how certain fans aren't seeing the obvious contradiction. On one hand, they accuse India of being biased towards Pakistan and politicizing the sport, which is true. On the other hand, they are more than happy to see Pakistan do the same thing to Afghanistan. I guess common sense is not so common with certain individuals.

Illogical argument.

BCCI politicizes cricket without any action taken by PCB or the Pakistan players.

PCB banned the Afghans after the ACB pulled out of the tri-series and their players themselves removed the PSL mention from their bios. When the other board itself and its players are unwilling to play with you internationally or keep a cordial relationship with you, why in the blue hell would you invite them to participate in your domestic tournament?

There is a difference between taking the high ground and completely disregarding your self respect.

No, Pakistan fans have not accused India of being reactionary because they have been the ones who have instigated it.

Same with Afghanistan. They are the ones who have instigated this whole thing.

Stop trying to sound wise and impartial because you are only coming across as naive.

The hilarious manner in which you are lashing out/foaming at the mouth just reinforces your desperation and the fact that your argument has no logical basis whatsoever. As far as I am concerned, you can keep resorting to personal attacks all you want, that won't change the fact that there is an obvious contradiction between someone criticizing India for politicizing cricket by associating Pakistan's cricket with the policies of the Pakistani state, and someone welcoming the idea of Pakistan banning Afghan players because of the policies/actions of the Afghan government.

If you want to play semantics by talking about how Afghan players pulled out of the tri-series, then I'll remind you that back in 2009, it was Pakistani players who actually pulled out of the IPL first. India chose to exclude Pakistani players from the IPL as a matter of policy much later. If India wanted they could have looked past that whole incident and let Pakistani players play in future IPL seasons, yet they still chose to politicize the issue. But this is not what this is about. Nobody is putting a gun to the head of any franchise to pick Afghan players. If you feel so strongly about them, don't pick them. If an Afghan player feels so strongly about Pakistan then they are welcome to not put their name in the draft. But if you, as a board decide to issue a statement banning their players from participating in the PSL then that is very obviously a political statement consistent with the policies/views of the Pakistani state and anyone with even a few functioning brain-cells can see that.

Also, I don’t really give a damn whether you think I’m trying to be wise or impartial. Unlike a lot of people here, I’m actually consistent with my opinions. And I value the sport of cricket far more than I value defending convenient double standards.

PSL will not suffer. It won’t make a difference to Afghan players. They play in other leagues too. The problem with Afghans is they hate Pakistan.We don’t want such people in our country. Hopefully all Afghans will be deported. There are still millions living in Pakistan.KPK has been very slow to deport them.

 

[Fenrir]

Precisely they wont be the ones missing out since they get picked everywhere around the world. It is the loss of the PSL not having players like Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan is nothing special now.He gets tonked.There are plenty of spinners in domestic cricket.I prefer Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi players to Afghans.

Completely agree.

If this is true ( again I have my doubts) it makes a mockery of Pakistan's don't politicise cricket stance that we claim to have held over the years.

How can we with a straight face say it's discrimination that our players are not being selected in Indian leagues.

Blanket ban is not the answer. Rather, playing together can defuse any tensions.

It's sad to see cricket constantly being used for such petty, political point-scoring. It really brings the sport into disrepute.

 

[sweep_shot]

Isn't PSL held at the same time as IPL?

That means main Afghan players are likely to pick IPL anyway. So, this ban is more like a symbolic ban.

This ban would be more effective if PSL is not being held at the same time as IPL.

Cricket was lovely when England was controlling it.

It became unstable after ICC became BCCICC.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

It's sad when individuals have to suffer due to irresponsible behavior of their organization/board. A lot of Afghan players are guilty of openly spewing venom against Pakistan (like Gulbadin) but not every player has to suffer because of that. PCB should have been a little considerate.

You’ve completely lost.

What makes Pakistan look petty and reactionary is tolerating unhinged hatred and belligerence from countries that are avowed enemies of it. Pakistan must be under no obligation to take the moral higher road. Sport or not, Pakistan should put both nations in their place whether in sport or military.

Appeasement is morally and ethically dubious whether in sports or in politics.

Well since they are on around the same time anyway probably a face saving exercise by Naqvi who would see it as a massive insult if a minnow like Afghanistan rejected Pakistan and went to play the Indian league.

Your post is filled with racism, nothing else.

Try to make some sense atleast.

Psl does suffer, whether people like this or not. Psl does not attract top quality players. Reality is mostly retired cricketers or has beens show up.

Afghanistan has quality cricketers, has a fan following that watches cricket. You remove afghan cricketers use lose on viewership from afghanistan, your media hosting deals are affected from these small things.

Quality cricketers bring quality to the league aswell.

Pakistan has an easy market of cricketers of Afghanistan, but if Pakistan decides to bring foreign relations in to cricket, they effectively destroy their own league like this.

We talk about politics being seperate from cricket, yet we make the same moves.

 

[RidiculousMan]

While it is funny since he’s absolute crap he has a 22 ball 42 against India in a World Cup match which is still probably more exciting than anything a lot of our overrated players have ever managed against them when it mattered

Alot of these posters here that are celebrating this move, are also same people that cry about sports and politics.

One of the best stories in cricket was how Pakistan gave Afghani cricketers a platform. That whole story gets ruined because of stupid state policies.

Its just like how we hated Bangladeshis for years, but now they are good guys and friends when state policy changes...

 

[Major]

The government of Afghanistan banned Afghanistan from touring Pakistan and the Afghani players welcomed, celebrated that decision. Why should we welcome them and allow them to play in the PSL?

Because when india decides to make sports political than we have no leg to stand on and complain as we do the same.

Only difference is each country does it on the country it looks down on.

Plus, this happeneing during a time when psl expansion is taking place. Pcb is doing a roadshow in Uk to attract bidders. These small policies effect your league.

Whatever afghan govt does, the onus to draft a player should be the franchisees decision. Its not pcb who should be deciding where a franchise owner can purchase their players from.

These are unstable policies, and further effects the PSL.

 

[Rana]

Well since they are on around the same time anyway probably a face saving exercise by Naqvi who would see it as a massive insult if a minnow like Afghanistan rejected Pakistan and went to play the Indian league.

Besides Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed, which Afghan player are PCB franchises dying to buy?

They are ok players with moments of good performances. Stop over glorifying them! Misbah started this trend in Pakistan by over promoting them as a strong unit and it has sat psychologically in most of the players, although they are just decent cricketers and Pakistan produces far better Seamers and batters than them. Pakistan have started to give their spinners more importance too and now even Pakistan spinners are producing the goods.

We are a far, far superior cricket nation than Afghanistan will ever be. We will keep them below us and far below us now going forward! That’s where they belong!

 

[Energy]

The Afghani players are mingling along OK with Pakistan players in the ILT tournament.

Money talks. If we want Rashid to dance on Shaheen's lap, play the right card.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Months before PCB's move to ban them, Afghan players themselves started removing PSL/franchise names from their social media bio. I even took ss when Rashid removed Lahore Qalandars.... Stop justifying them. If they have that much nationalism and patriotism, PCB too represents Pakistan, that too at an international scale.

If somebody does not want to mix sports with politics, they shall not start with cheap stunts at first place and get furious when there is a reaction to an action

Some fans are so emotional that they still believe cricket is a gentleman’s game and can be kept away from politics. That belief is completely misplaced. For the last 20–25 years, cricket has been heavily politicized by various boards to push their agendas and to stay relevant in international cricket.

Afghanistan’s players and cricket board who learned how to hold a bat and ball and how to run their cricket system with the help of PCB are openly spewing venom against Pakistan. Meanwhile, Cricket Australia, ECB, and NZC never try to appease the Afghanistan board; they always keep them in their place and limit.

It is only the BCCI that appeases Afghanistan’s board and players with small “lollipops” for clear political reasons. There is absolutely no compulsion on PCB to take any so-called high moral ground or roll out the red carpet for Afghanistan players.

If the Afghanistan board and players have taken a stand that they don’t want to play with Pakistan or participate in the PSL, that’s their choice, they can do so and stay happy. The irony is that the same ECB and CA will regularly humiliate Afghanistan, and yet in those cases, the Afghanistan board and players simply surrender.

What a person does on his social media bio is his personal decision.

Any person crying that that xyz removed pz from his insta bio is just being petty and acting like a teenage girl.

Lol, if i remove my religion from insta bio that means im not part of the religion?

PSL is a different thing. Its not upto the PCB to decide who should play and who should not. Its upto the franchisees to decide, who they want draft and who they dont want to.

If pcb starts to bar players from playing on the basis of nationality, that is discrimination and plus that hurts the franchisee aswell.

One of the reasons why foreign business owners will never invest in pakistan related companies is this reason.
