Islamabad, April 20: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has banned Sri Lankan captain and all-rounder Dasun Shanaka from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) for two years. The decision was announced on Monday after the board found that Shanaka pulled out of the ongoing season without proper approval. Officials said the move broke player contract rules.
The PCB said it reviewed the situation in detail along with franchise Lahore Qalandars. According to the board, Shanaka's withdrawal did not fall under valid reasons mentioned in the agreement. Because of this, the board decided to take strict action. As a result, the Sri Lankan skipper will not be allowed to play in the PSL until the 2027 season.
