The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has granted no-objection certificates (NOCs) to twelve cricketers, allowing them to participate in international leagues and tournaments.

Left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir will play County Cricket from July 4th to July 20th.

Mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed is scheduled to participate in Major League Cricket, running from July 4th to July 28th. Pacer Haris Rauf will also be in action during the same period, and Zaman Khan is slated to join them in the tournament.

Additionally, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Hasnain (a non-centrally contracted player), Salman Ali Agha, and Shadab Khan will all participate in the Lanka Premier League from July 1st to July 21st. 

Sharjeel Khan and Sohaib Maqsood are slated for the World Championship of Legends, scheduled from July 3rd to July 13th.

Azam also recently opted out of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) in adherence to the Pakistan Cricket Board's policy of granting NOCs to players for participation in a maximum of two leagues annually.
