•Eight foreign players have withdrawn from the upcoming 11th season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026.
•This comes just days before the PSL is scheduled to begin on March 26, two days prior to IPL 2026.
•Afghanistan has already banned its players from participating in the PSL due to ongoing border conflicts.
•Notable withdrawals include Australia's Jack Fraser McGurk and Spencer Johnson, West Indies' Johnson Charles and Gudakesh Motie, South Africa's Otniel Bartman, England's Tymal Mills, Zimbabwe's Blessing Muzarabani, and Afghanistan's Rahmanullah Gurbaz.
•Despite threats of legal action from the PCB, foreign players are continuing to withdraw, causing embarrassment for Pakistan's T20 league.
