PCB has plan to include Usman Khan for T20 World Cup 2024

PCB want to correct its mistake by including Usman Khan in the plans of T20 World Cup 2024. PCB opened doors for Usman Khan in Pakistan Cricket team due to his dream performance in PSL 2024. But Usman Khan has to decide himself whether he wants to be part of camp or not. He has 14 months left to qualify for UAE team.

Usman Khan sent notice to UAE Cricket Board

Usman Khan has sent a notice to the UAE Cricket Board to terminate his central contract, with legal consultation from PCB, indicating his desire to establish his future in Pakistan cricket.

UAE Cricket Board investigating Usman Khan for breach of contract

The Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) is investigating if Usman Khan’s decision to declare his intention to play for Pakistan constitutes a breach of his contract with the UAE board.

ECB is conducting a review of the case to assess potential breaches of contract not just with the board itself, but also with white-ball leagues he has played in the UAE as a local player, including the ILT20 and the T10.

The decision of the review, which ECB sources told ESPNcricinfo will be finalised in the next fortnight, could carry significant ramifications for Usman. It is understood he could face a ban from league cricket in the UAE, thus depriving him of the most financially lucrative cricket he has played in his career thus far.

If a breach of contract is deemed to have occurred, it is also set to have consequences for the player’s work permit, under which he has lived in the UAE to complete the residency requirement to be able to qualify to play international cricket for the UAE; he still has 14 months to go before he satisfies that criteria.

For his part, Usman believes he has not breached any contract, contesting that his contract includes an exit clause with a 30-day notice period. It is understood he is resigned to whatever sanction the ECB levies on him, and that the allure of playing for Pakistan when the PCB came calling after the PSL was too enticing to turn down.

Usman was asked by the PCB if he still wished to play for Pakistan, to which he responded in the affirmative. On Monday, he was named in the Pakistan camp that is currently training with the Pakistan military in a PCB initiative to boost player fitness. He linked up with the camp on Sunday evening, and ESPNcricinfo understands the PCB are looking to fast-track him into the Pakistan side ahead of a five-match T20I series against New Zealand next month.

But given he hasn’t yet played international cricket for either nation, a tug of war has broken out for a player who seems at the peak of his prowess at the moment. The ECB’s decision to announce an immediate review has indicated they are unwilling to roll over and let what they view as their player be poached by the PCB from under their noses.

For Usman, the decision comes down to the attraction of playing the world’s biggest tournaments – such as the T20 World Cup in June which he appears to be a shoo-in for with Pakistan – balanced against the lucrative nature of a freelance T20 specialist affiliated with the UAE. While he appears to have chosen the former over the latter for now, much may rest on the outcome of the ECB’s review.

UAE Cricket Board imposed Five year ban on Usman Khan

The Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) has imposed a five year ban on Usman Khan, prohibiting him from participating in any leagues within the UAE.

ECB takes action after better switches allegiance to Pakistan. Board says player “misrepresnted” his intentions. He won’t be able to play ILT20 or Abu Dhabi T10 until 2029.

Usman Khan miaden call up for the Pakistan’s national team

UsmanKhan was accused of using “the opportunities and development provided by the ECB to him to seek out other prospects and it was evident that he was no longer wanting to play for ECB nor complete the eligibility criteria which he was under an obligation to do.”

Pakistan is due to play 11 T20s ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup in June in the Caribbean and the United States.
