James Vince criticizes ECB NOC policy, says PSL is better than IPL
English batter James Vince has expressed his displeasure over the No-Objection-Certificate (NOC) of the England Cricket Board (ECB). He believes that the ECB is giving preference to the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in it's NOC policy.
Recently, the 33-year-old batter thought that it will be better to leave Domestic Cricket in order to play in the PSL, but now he said that the NOC policy of the ECB is not right. He also went on to make a massive statement that how PSL is better than the IPL.
'Giving preference to Pakistan Super League (PSL)is a better decision...'
In a conversation with ESPNCricinfo, James Vince said that apart from me, many other players have failed to understand the NOC policy of the England and Wales Cricket Board. We weren't able to understand why the IPL is getting preference over the Pakistan Super League in the policy of the England Cricket Board? He said that the entire matter is decided by the relationship of the BCCI and the Pakistan Cricket Board with the England Cricket Board, but I believe that giving preference to the Pakistan Super League over the IPL would have been a better decision, but it is not so.
In what way is the PSL better than the IPL?
The experienced English batter believes that the PSL is better because it last for less days in comparison to the cash-rich Indian T20 league. In such a situation, if the English players play in the Pakistani Super League, then their chances of missing International Cricket will be less too.
Let us tell you that recently the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) released it's new NOC policy and in accordance to that policy, if the Three Lions are scheduled to play any international game, then an English player won't be allowed to participate in any t20 league, but if the IPL is taking place, then they can definitely continue to take part in the Indian T20 league.
