The Pakistan Cricket Board has declined the NOC requests of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Shah Afridi to participate in the Global T20 Canada 2024 season. Considering their busy international calendar, including nine ICC World Test Championship matches and the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the board has decided to prioritize their workload management and have them available for future contests. However, the board has allowed white-ball specialists Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Nawaz, Iftikhar Ahmed and Asif Ali to participate in the event.
