CORBIN BOSCH'S EXIT FROM PSL
On the other hand, this season has not been particularly good for South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch. Bosch was picked by Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL draft, but when he was called up by Mumbai Indians as a replacement for the injured player in the IPL, he decided to withdraw from the PSL.
This decision cost them dearly. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) sent him a legal notice and suspended him from the PSL for a year, considering it a contract breach.
Corbin Bosch made an emotional statement expressing regret over this stating,
"I don't know about PSL. I deeply regret my decision to withdraw from the Pakistan Tennis Association, and I sincerely apologise to the people of Pakistan, the fans of Peshawar Zalmi and the wider cricket community. I take full responsibility for my actions and will be punished with penalties, fines and PSL. I accept the consequences, including a one-year ban. It's been a tough lesson, but I'm committed to learning from this experience and looking forward to the PSL with renewed dedication and the confidence of the fans. I hope to come back."
