The Pakistan Super League (PSL) has suspended South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch for one year after he previously accepted a Peshawar Zalmi team slot in January 2025 but instead joined Mumbai Indians for their participation in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Bosch broke his contract terms with PSL franchise Peshawar Zalmi. The Zalmi franchise initially selected Bosch in their January 2025 draught but Bosch made the decision to fill the spot of the injured Lizaad Williams when entering the IPL. The PCB launched swift disciplinary procedures when PSL faced competition from IPL this year which brought about widespread criticism.
