ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has introduced new protocols to ensure merit-based selection of the athletes representing Pakistan in international sports events.
Previously, there was no requirement for national sports federations to provide a selection criterion or post-event report when applying for No Objection Certificates (NOCs). Now, all the federations seeking NOCs must submit a player profile proforma that details the achievements and credentials of the selected athletes.
Furthermore, the federations will be required to certify that players were selected based solely on merit. In addition, a post-event evaluation form will also be submitted after the conclusion of each event. These documents will be made publicly available on the PSB’s website under the new ‘Foreign Sports Events’ tab to promote transparency.
