Workload Management
Pcb officially grant nocs to all of these players but it is for shorter times they will be availible for only three or four games of tournament for their teams in the big bash.
Because pcb wants to saves these players from the injuries and they are trying to manage their workload
The PCB understands that this decision is in the best intrests of all the stakeholders involved.
While balancing the importance of game time with workload management the board said.
Olly stone the england fast bowler has been training with stars.
And could be drafted into their squad as cover for haris rauf at some stage.
Stone plays county cricket in the UK und peter moores who is stars new head coach.
Ends of worries for stars
The granting of the NOC to rauf ends worries that his stint with stars would be delayed.
After his decision to not play in the australia tests was publicly criticised by pcb officials.
It has since emerged that the board has sent haris rauf a show case notice.
To explain his decision to pull out of selection for the test series.
Wahab publically criticise rauf decision
The cheif selector of pakistan cricket publicaly criticised the rauf decision to not be available for series.
Wahab said rauf initially committed to the test series only to pull out a day later.
A version of events rauf is believed to dispute.
But it is version of events that mohammad hafeez team director also double down in press confrence.
Last week before the team departure for australia test series.
Show case notice
The show case notice is based on alleged breach of clauses from the central contract.
Which requires the cricketer to make them available as and when require by board.
And to render professional cricketing services diligently faithfully and with utmost integrity.
Thinking of test captian
The thinking was confirmed by the pakistan new test captian shan masood.
Who said before flying out to australia that they wanted to used rauf extreme pace across short spells.
As england had used mark wood in the ashes a couple of seasons ago.
Wood though has been managed by england as a red ball option for a while.
Having now played 31 tests and over 70 first class games.
But haris rauf make unavailible himself for this test series because he want to do some due to the work load management.
Because he thinks he has not play to much domestic first class cricket so it can be proved dangerous for him playing test match.
He does not bowl the spell longer than 10 over from the last year it was a big time so he makes unavailible himself.
Rauf record in test cricket
Rauf has only ever played nine first class matches and a single test match for pakistan.
Last winter against england when pakistan were also short of options.
Rauf bowled 13 overs in the first innings of the test match in the rawalpindi.
And sustained a quad injury that ruled him out of the remaining series.
He was not part of pakistan squad to srilanka for their last test assignment in july this year.
Administrative instability
The administrative instability at the pcb has not helped the situation.
When the idea of rauf in australia was first considered.
The people taking to him were completely different to those now in charge.
Hafeez has replaced mickey arthur as the team director and wahab raiz has taken over chief selector.
The fifth man in that post this year.
Masood has taken over from babar azam as the test captian.
PCB clearification
PCB officially grants NOCs to the players which are participating in big bash league.
With this step of pcb this know cleared pcb has cleared haris rauf of show case notice.
