Ipl noc

Sri Lanka Cricket: Sri Lanka fast bowler Nuwan Thushara has withdrawn his legal challenge against Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) over the non-issuance of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) required to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.

The matter, which was being heard before the Colombo District Court, was taken up on Wednesday, where Thushara’s counsel, G. G. Arulpragasam, informed the court that the pacer no longer wished to pursue the case. With a significant portion of the IPL season already completed, the petitioner sought permission to withdraw the application.

The court subsequently allowed the request and dismissed the petition, according to Sri Lanka Mirror reports.
