The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a legal notice to South Africa all-rounder Corbin Bosch for allegedly breaching his HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) contract, the board announced on Sunday.

Bosch, 30, was selected in the diamond category by Peshawar Zalmi during the PSL 2025 draft in January and was expected to be a key player for the franchise. However, reports indicate he is considering withdrawing from his PSL contract to join Mumbai Indians for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season.

The IPL franchise is reportedly eyeing Bosch as a replacement for injured pacer Lizaad Williams ahead of the tournament, which runs from 22 March to 25 May.

“South Africa’s Corbin Bosch has been served a legal notice by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) alleging breach of the all-rounder’s contractual obligations to the PCB,” the board said in an official statement.

“The 30-year-old Bosch was picked by Peshawar Zalmi in the Diamond category during the tenth edition of HBL PSL Player Draft, held in Lahore on 13 January. The legal notice was served through his agent, and the player has been asked to justify his actions of withdrawing from his professional and contractual commitments.

“The PCB management has also outlined the repercussions of his departure from the league and expects his response within the stipulated time frame. The PCB will not make any further comments on the matter.”

Bosch has yet to make his IPL debut but was previously associated with Rajasthan Royals as a reserve player. His familiarity with Mumbai Indians comes from his time with MI Cape Town in the SA20 league, where he played a key role in their title-winning campaign, taking 11 wickets in seven innings at an economy rate of 8.68.

If Bosch joins Mumbai Indians, he will reunite with Ryan Rickelton, a fellow SA20 teammate, and provide an additional seam-bowling all-rounder option alongside Hardik Pandya and Raj Bawa.
