The players are upset because they had sought permission from Intikhab, who is PCB Director (international cricket operations) and had got verbal assurance.
"Now it has transpired that since none of the players has applied for NOCs in writing from the Board and neither have they submitted details of the organisers and match the PCB says it cannot give permission," the source added.
Another source said the players were now blaming Intikhab for the mess up but a Board official said the players were themselves to blame for the situation.
"Even if Intikhab gave them permission verbally the Board can't act without having something in writing. None of the players have bothered to seek permission or NOC in writing from the relevant authorities in the board so how do they expect to get permission," the official said.
He also said that under existing regulation no player could confirm his appearance in a match or enter into a deal with any foreign club without first taking the Board into confidence and getting their NOC.
"All players who now go to play in foreign leagues have to follow this practice. It was adopted for the Bangladesh Premier League and even when players signed contracts with English counties." More
