Mujeeb Ur Rahman removed from Renegades' squad for BBL clash over NOC issue

Melbourne, Jan 1: The Afghanistan Cricket Board's decision to deny a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to international Mujeeb Ur Rahman over his request to be omitted from central contracts has resulted in the spinner being dropped from Melbourne Renegades' squad for their game on Tuesday.

Mujeeb was set to face Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League's city derby, but on Monday, the Renegades issued a statement claiming that "a change to his No-Objection Certificate (NOC) conditions made him unavailable for the match".

Mujeeb along with seamers Naveen-ul-Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi had approached Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) requesting to be omitted from central contracts for 2024.
