Flurry of Retirements

In the span of two weeks, we have heard about the retirements of two of Pakistani players, for which most of the nation and the social media enthusiasts fought like there is no tomorrow especially without Muhammad Aamir, now we 're seeing how he placed excuse for playing the league cricket preferred over the National Duty.

Look at other bowlers

You're not the only one bowling longer, look at Starc, Bumrah, Cummins, they prefer test cricket over limited over white ball cricket, and unlike the subjected, they'd end up being; if not the greats, but someone at least who showed their motivation that Yes I AM GOING TO DO THIS. This is something lacks in current Pakistani playing team.

What should the PCB be doing to overcome the scenario

Restrict players

The PCB should be restricting cricketers to play the PSL only, with the exception of players be given NOC to play 1 - 2 foreign leagues only who're placed on top tier of the central contract.

The National Duty and Domestic be prioritized

Importance to the Domestic Season be prioritized so that even if Pakistan's domestic season tournament clashes with the foreign league, a player is deemed to play the domestic instead of the foreign league and even if the cricketer takes the instance of retiring and than playing the foreign league, than it'd be with the PCB's NOC, which means PCB won't be backing the player. Same goes with the National Duty because the current trend which the cricketers have figured out; is lethal not only to Pakistan cricket but also to the legacy of Pakistan Cricket.

A Show-Cause Notice

A show-cause be placed for that retaliating player; after taken back all of the benefits/perks/advantages; so that these players should understand that they are not only wearing the emblem of Pointed Star with the word Pakistan written in Urdu, the blazer, but also the hopes and investment of the nation is behind them, therefore they should be asked for the same because this is a legitimate reason, being ambitious and seeking better opportunity is one thing but betraying with the nation and with the rich legacy of Pakistan Cricket is something else. 

The last note

I would quote Mohsin Hassan Khan Sb over here;
Don't play with the country; Play for the country
