The Sind High Court has temporarily lifted a ban on Pakistan’s ICL players from competing in domestic cricket. Effectively, the order means the group of 19 cricketers in the league can - and some will - take part in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, the domestic first-class competition. The ban on their participation in international cricket, however, remains since it is not yet a point of argument in the legal proceedings.
Jazak Allah…Eventhough this move will only allow them to feature in the domestic circuit but things are looking really favorable now in terms of these players getting their spots back in the national team as well. Really want Yousuf back in Test Squad and players like Razzaq and Rana in the ODI’s/T20’s.
Re: Sindh High Court temporarily lifts the ban on ICL players
This is great news. Pakistan has close to 20 players involved in ICL so its affecting our recruits into the Paki International team. At this way they can play cricket all year around. Of course some of those cricketers are past their prime but as the last 2 ODI against SL showed, we so NEED Mohammad Yousuf in our middle order.
A couple of good news regarding ICL/IPL today. A very good move which will hopefully allow players like Rana, Razzaq and Yousuf to play for Pakistan again eventually.
