Hampshire has called on the PCB to free Shahid Afridi for the Friends Life T20 event after prove he would sit out the opener with Somerset.
Afridi is currently engaged to play in the English domestic Twenty20 competition after the PCB balanced his central contract.
That move came in the wake of Afridi announce his temporary retirement from international cricket following a public falling out with the governing body. The knock-on consequence of the spat has seen Hampshire lose the service of their star overseas signing after the PCB also withdraw the No Objection Certificate necessary to allow Afridi to play for the county.
"It is with regret that Hampshire Cricket announces that Shahid Afridi - the Royals overseas signing for the Friends Life T20 competition - will not be available to play in the match against the Somerset Sabres at The Rose Bowl," a Hampshire statement read.
"It follows the choice by the Pakistan Cricket Board to revoke their NOC, thus withdrawing their approval for Shahid to take part in the competition," he said.
He sustained: "The club would like to make it clear that though we respect this decision, we have been and will carry on urging the PCB to reorganize this matter. We are keen to have Shahid playing for the Royals at some point in the season."
"Hampshire Cricket will be making no more comment on this issue at this time," he concluded.
