South African all-rounder Corbin Bosch has received legal notice from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for allegedly breaching his contract with the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The cricketer has reportedly provided an explanation to Pakistani officials regarding his withdrawal from the PSL 2025 season.
Bosch was picked by Peshawar Zalmi in the Diamond category during the PSL 2025 Player Draft on January 13. However, the all-rounder later opted out of the tournament. Mumbai Indians recently signed him as a replacement for the injured Lizaad Williams. Bosch had gone unsold in the IPL mega auction.
Corbin Bosch Served Legal Notice by PCB Over Alleged PSL Contract Breach
Corbin Bosch has decided to forgo his PSL contract with Peshawar Zalmi to join Mumbai Indians for the IPL 2025 season, which runs from March 22 to May 25, overlapping with the PSL window.
In response, the Pakistan Cricket Board has issued a legal notice through his agent, demanding an explanation for his withdrawal from the PSL despite contractual obligations.
The 10th edition of the PSL is set to begin on April 11 and will feature six teams competing in 34 matches until May 18. Peshawar Zalmi have signed Tasmania and Hobart Hurricanes’ batting all-rounder Mitch Owen, who recently gained attention with a stunning 39-ball century in the Big Bash League (BBL) final.
Corbin Bosch Provides Explanation to PCB for PSL Withdrawal
Pakistani sports journalist Saleem Khaliq revealed that Bosch has provided an explanation to PCB officials regarding his withdrawal from the PSL. The board is now reviewing his justification before deciding on further action, amid some voices within the cricketing community calling for a ban on Bosch.
“South Africa All rounder Corbin Bosch has explained his reasons for withdrawing from the PSL to Pakistani officials. PCB will now review his explanation before deciding on any action, while some quarters have called for a ban on him for Preferring IPL Over PSL,” Saleem Khaliq wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Corbin Bosch’s Experience in International Cricket and IPL
Corbin Bosch has played just one Test and two ODIs. He was part of South Africa’s squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy but did not feature in any matches. Bosch has played 86 T20 games, taking 59 wickets at an average of 32.66 and an economy rate of 8.38. He has also scored 663 runs, including two fifties.
Bosch is no stranger to the Mumbai Indians setup, having played for MI Cape Town in the SA20 2024-25 season. He played a key role in their title-winning campaign, picking up 11 wickets in seven innings at an economy of 8.68.
The 30-year-old cricketer has yet to make his debut in the IPL. He has been involved in the tournament before, first as a net bowler for Rajasthan Royals and later as a replacement for Nathan Coulter-Nile. It remains to be seen what role he will play for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025.
