Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has imposed a one year ban on South African star all-rounder Corbin Bosch from participating in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The PCB announced this decision after Bosch unilaterally ended his contract with Peshawar Zalmi to join Mumbai Indians (MI) for Indian Premier League 2025 as a replacement player.
The 30-year-old star was picked in the diamond category by Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi during the season 10 draft of PSL, which took place in Lahore earlier this year before the Champions Trophy 2025. However, Bosch decided to back out of the PSL commitment as he want to join Mumbai Indians replacing injured South African pacer Lizaad Williams.
PCB shared a statement where they confirmed the ban and noted that Bosch will be ineligible for selection in next year’s PSL.
Responing to sanction, Bosch issued an apology via a statement released by the PCB.
“I deeply regret my decision to withdraw from the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) and offer my sincere apologies to the people of Pakistan, the fans of Peshawar Zalmi, and the wider cricket community.
“The HBL PSL is a prestigious tournament, and I fully understand the disappointment caused by my actions. To the loyal fans of Peshawar Zalmi, I am truly sorry for letting you down. “I take full responsibility for my actions and accept the consequences, including the penalty fine and the one-year ban from the HBL PSL. This has been a hard lesson, but I am committed to learning from this experience and hope to return to the HBL PSL in the future with renewed dedication and the trust of the fans,” Bosch said in a statement issued by PCB.
