Therefore he would not be a part of the department team in the upcoming National Hockey Championship starting in Karachi from April 3.
Head of the NBP sports department, former Test left-arm spinner Iqbal Qasim confirmed to Dawn on Wednesday that they had received Salman's resignation.
He said that its was a priority for NBP to engage best players to compete in the national championship but Salman was more in favour of a future with the Dutch league, which is his choice after all.
However, according to a report Rehan Butt and Waseem Ahmad have chosen to represent their department Wapda in the national event, instead of playing in the Netherlands.
