South Africa and Mumbai Indians all-rounder Corbin Bosch has reportedly offered a clarification to the PCB for opting out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and playing the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Bosch was set to represent Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL 2025 season but opted out at the last moment to play for Mumbai Indians.
He was initially picked by the Peshawar-based side in the Diamond category during the PSL 10 draft, and had gone unsold in the IPL 2025 mega auction. But as Mumbai Indians announced him as the replacement for the injured Lizaad Williams, Bosch decided to choose the IPL over PSL.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had earlier stated that a legal notice would be sent to Bosch for violating his PSL contract. Now, according to a report in Cricket Pakistan, the all-rounder has issued clarification to the PCB regarding his decision to opt out of the PSL.

PSL 2025 is scheduled to be played from April 11 to May 18, while IPL 2025 is set to start on March 22, and run until May 25.
