The excitement surrounding the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9 faces a potential setback after Reece Topley as Wanindu Hasaranga, the celebrated Sri Lankan all-rounder, finds his participation in jeopardy. The Quetta Gladiators, who selected Hasaranga in the draft, are yet to secure the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), casting doubts over his appearance in the tournament.
Speculation about the delay in issuing the NOC points to possible scheduling conflicts or commitments to the national team. However, Sri Lanka Cricket has yet to break its silence, leaving fans and the Gladiators in a state of suspense.
The potential absence of Hasaranga, a 25-year-old cricket sensation known for his dynamic batting, strategic bowling, and outstanding fielding, poses a significant loss for the Quetta Gladiators and the PSL at large. Recognized as one of cricket’s most electrifying talents, his non-participation would significantly impact the team’s performance and the league’s appeal to fans worldwide.
As the cricket community awaits further developments, the urgency for a resolution becomes ever more critical. The PSL 9 draft has concluded, making the timely receipt of Hasaranga’s NOC crucial for the Quetta Gladiators’ planning and strategy. The coming days are critical as the decision on his participation remains pending, highlighting the need for swift action from Sri Lanka Cricket to resolve the matter.
