Australian all-rounder James Faulkner has pulled out of remaining matches of Pakistan Super League (PSL), accusing the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) of ‘lying’ and not honoring the agreed payments.
“I apologise to Pakistan Cricket fans. But unfortunately I’ve had to withdraw from the last two matches and leave the PSLT20 due to the PCB not honoring my contractual agreement/payments” Faulkner said in a tweet on Saturday.
“I have been here the whole duration and they have continued to lie to me” Faulkner alleged PCB of lying.
“It hurts to leave as I wanted to help to get international cricket back in Pakistan as there is so much young talent and the fans are amazing. But the treatment I have received has been a disgrace from the PCB and PSL” Faulkner said in a subsequent tweet.
“I’m sure you all understand my position.” He said.
On the other hand, the PCB said it had taken notice of Faulkner’s accusations. “The PCB and Quetta Gladiators have regretfully taken note of Mr James Faulkner’s false and misleading accusations and will shortly be releasing a detailed statement on the matter.” PCB said, through a tweet.
