After completing the necessary procedures, the two cricketers allowed to play in South Africa will be issued NOCs.

The inaugural SA20 will start from January 10 while Pakistan's home series against New Zealand ends on January 15.

The home T20I series against West Indies have also been postponed which allows Pakistan players to make themselves available for the leagues. Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), SA T20 and ILT20 will be taking place during the window.

There have been reports of Pakistani players participating in the BPL. No final decision has been taken to give NOCs to the national cricketers for the leagues.

PCB will decide on a case-by-case basis for the NOC, and PCB may adopt a redressal policy if the players leave the contract.
