Mumbai Indians all-rounder served legal notice by PCB for alleged PSL contract breach

Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Corbin Bosch has been served a legal notice by the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) for allegedly breaching his Pakistan Super League (PSL) contract. The South African cricketer currently finds himself in an ugly situation, being stuck in between two leagues.

Bosch was initially signed by the Peshawar Zalmi in the Diamond category during the PSL Player Draft ahead of the 10th season on January 13, 2025. However, the Mumbai Indians recently announced Bosch as the replaced for Lizaad Williams, who was ruled out due to injury.

Reportedly, the all-rounder will now forgo his PSL deal to play in the IPL for the Mumbai Indians. The PSL will be played in the April to May window, which clashes with the IPL, which will begin on March 22 and end on May 25.

The PCB stated a press release, which says that Corbin Bosch has been issued a legal notice through his agent. He has also been asked to justify his withdrawal from his professional and contractual commitments.

The Mumbai Indians will begin their IPL 2025 campaign against the Chennai Super Kings on March 23. The all-rounder was previously a part of the Rajasthan Royals as a reserve player but is yet to make his IPL debut.
