I think, his point was First Class (4 Day Match) VS 3rd Class (T20), which is an acceptable concern. However, I see it's a total incompetence for the part of PCB of complete failing to cope with the progression of the game - they are still in 80s, when 16 players were selected for 5 Test & 6 ODI Series & almost identical 11 played in Test & ODI.
There are players who should be groomed/considered for shorter format - so, no issues with NOC for players like Imad, Tannu, Afridi, Saad Nasim, Sharjeel, Latif, Malik, Anwar Ali, Bilawal, Zoaib, Irfan, Jamshed, Hammad, MoHa .......... even Umar & and such many players are there. BUT, players like Asghar, Amir, Babar, Sami, Rahat, Sohail, Gohar, Ahmed, Sarfu ...... players that are playing now or has a future in longer format in future, should never be given NOC for T20 leagues, during domestic FC season. Obviously, these players have to be compensated for the loss of earnings, but that's a bit difficult if Shakeel Sheikh's family is to Fly in First Class & stay at Hilton .........
T20 leagues are ground reality - it's better to accept that & accommodate in the system. Otherwise, outside Big 3, almost every country will face WI like situation - PAK even more, as there is no guarantee on decent earnings in PAK domestics. A joke league like ICL almost wiped out entire PAK team, despite the threat of life ban - those players calculated a better financial proposition of leaving PAK National Cap for a 6 weeks private league, indicates the limitation of PCB. These are most incompetent & corrupt people with lots of ego - won't change & won't listen.
