South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch has recently found himself at the centre of controversy following his decision to withdraw from Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025. And his move has led to a one-year ban from the tournament. Bosch was a diamond pick for Peshawar Zalmi at the PSL draft, but he was later signed as an injury replacement by Mumbai Indians (MI) for IPL 2025. Moreover, this year PSL is clashing with IPL and Bosch had to pull out of the PSL in order to make himself available for Mumbai in IPL.
In a statement posted on PCB's website, Bosch issued an apology for pulling out of the tournament.
"I deeply regret my decision to withdraw from the PSL, and offer my sincere apologies to the people of Pakistan, the fans of Peshawar Zalmi, and the wider cricket community. 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," Bosch said.
