Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi has banned Sri Lankan star cricketer Dasun Shanaka for choosing Indian Premier League (IPL) over Pakistan Super League (PSL). This comes after Zimbabwe fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani was banned for two years.
According to reports, the PCB banned Dasun Shanaka from the PSL for one year, while they sanctioned a 2-year ban for Blessing Muzarabani. For the 2026 season, Sri Lankan all-rounder Dasun Shanaka has withdrawn from his PSL to join IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals.
