Corbin Bosch handed one-year ban from PSL

Corbin Bosch, the South African pacer, has been handed a one-year ban from participating in the Pakistan Super League after he pulled out of the tournament ahead of the 2025 season in order to participate in the Indian Premier League. The decision was announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board on Thursday (April 10).

The 30-year-old Bosch was picked by Peshawar Zalmi in the Diamond category in the PSL draft in January this year. However, Mumbai Indians called him as a replacement player in IPL 2025 for the injured Lizaad Williams for which he left the PSL only weeks ahead of the start of the tournament.

In response to PSL's decision, Bosch stated "I deeply regret my decision to withdraw from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and offer my sincere apologies to the people of Pakistan, the fans of Peshawar Zalmi and the wider cricket community.

"The PSL is a prestigious tournament and I fully understand the disappointment caused by my actions. To the loyal fans of Peshawar Zalmi, I am truly sorry for letting you down.

"I take full responsibility for my actions and accept the consequences, including the penalty fine and the one-year ban from the PSL. This has been a hard lesson, but I am committed to learning from this experience and hope to return to the PSL in the future with renewed dedication and the trust of the fans."
