LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided not to grant fast bowler Naseem Shah the No Objection Certificate to play The Hundred cricket league, under the workload management, sources told Geo News. This will deprive Naseem of around Rs 45 million as he was signed by Birmingham Phoenix team for £125,000. As per the sources, the decision has been taken as a preventive measure ahead of the crucial matches of the World Test Championship, after reviewing the application submitted by the Pakistani cricketer for the NOC. They said his application has been dismissed to protect him from injuries, since he plays in all three formats of the cricket for the national side and he faced some fitness challenges last year. Naseem underwent a successful surgery to treat his shoulder injury in October 2023. Following which, he had been ruled out of the ICC World Cup 2023. After that, doctors had advised the young pacer to rest and undergo rehabilitation for a period of four to six weeks before making his return to the ground. This injury forced him out of action for at least three to four months. In the 46th over, during Pakistan's second game against India at the Asia Cup 2023 in September 2023, the pacer walked off the field after suffering an injury on the reserve day organised for that game. Soon after, the PCB issued a press release stating that the right-armer has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament. He had suffered an injury to a muscle just below his bowling shoulder.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Gohar Ali Khan on Saturday demanded that party founder Imran Khan should now be released forthwith following a court order acquitting him and his wife Bushra Bibi in the iddat case. Gohar's remarks come as a district and sessions court acquitted the former premier and his spouse in the unlawful nikah case — the last hurdle in Khan's release from jail. "This was a case which had no basis. Bushra Bibi is not convicted in any other case and PTI founder should also be released today," demanded the PTI chief as he was surrounded by party members rejoicing over Khan's acquittal. The court accepted the couple's pleas seeking annulment of their conviction in the iddat case. Additional Sessions Judge Muhammad Afzal Majoka announced short order reserved earlier in the day. Khan and Bushra were sentenced to seven years in prison and awarded a fine of Rs500,000 each, in February earlier this year after a trial court found their nikah to be fraudulent as Khawar Maneka, Bushra's ex-husband, moved the court against the couple's marriage. The couple had then challenged their conviction and even moved the IHC seeking varying relief from the court. The court, in its verdict, has said that the former prime minister and his spouse should be immediately released if their arrest is not required in any other case. The verdict holds significance for Khan, who has been behind bars since August last year after he was sentenced in the Toshakhana criminal case, and subsequently sentenced in other cases ahead of the February 8 elections. Khan has already secured relief in £190 million reference, Toshakhana and the cipher cases. Khan has also been granted bail in several May 9 cases registered in Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad. However, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore earlier this week dismissed his pre-arrest bail in vandalism cases related to the violent protests last year.
