Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has confirmed to the Pakistan cricket authorities he will play for Multan Tigers in the Twenty20 Cup tournament starting in Lahore from Monday.

"Inzamam has confirmed he will play for Multan but not in all the matches. The likelihood is he will come in during the knockout stage or in the final league match," a member of the Pakistan board domestic tournament monitoring committee said on Saturday.

However, Yousuf Youhana is leading one of the Lahore sides, which also includes Abdul Razzaq while vice-captain Younis Khan is going to lead the Peshawar Panthers side that will also have Arshad Khan, Yasir Hameed, etc.

"Except for Shahid Afridi, Asim Kamal, Danish Kaneria and Mohammad Sami all the other players who went to India have confirmed their participation in the Twenty20 Cup which should make it an exciting contest for the viewers and spectators," the official said.

He said Rana Naved and Shoaib Malik would be turning out for Sialkot Stallions while Shoaib Akhtar will be leading the Rawalpindi Rams team and Shabbir Ahmed will also play for Multan.

"The other Lahore side includes Salman Butt, Imran Farhat, Taufeeq Umar, Kamran Akmal, etc," he added.

Sources said due to pressure from the sponsors, ABN-AMRO and the Dubai-based Tens Sports channel which is telecasting the tournament, the Board had told the leading players who returned from India to make themselves available for the tournament which is being held for the first time in Pakistan.

"The sponsors in particular wanted Inzamam, Shoaib Akhtar and Afridi but while the first two are confirmed Afridi has a genuine problem that his father is very ill," the official said.

Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Sami is scheduled to undergo surgery to remove infected corns from his heel before the West Indies tour but, despite his fitness position, he still took time out to play for his local club in a friendly fixture the other day.

According to available details Sami, who was forced to miss the last two One-day Internationals in India due to his heel injury, turned out for Jahangir Road Cricket Club against a local club and bowled five overs of off-spin and then scored 55 runs in the friendly tie.

However, it is not known what effect his playing the local match is likely to have on his injured heel which doctors have said requires surgery if he wants to be fit for the West Indies tour.

The Pakistan team is scheduled to leave for the West Indies on May 11 to play three One-day Internationals and two Test matches.

Interestingly, Sami has ruled himself out to play for the Karachi teams in the ABN-AMRO Twenty20 Cup tournament starting from Monday because of the injury.

However, even the other Karachi based players who returned recently from India have for some reason or the other turned down the offer to play for Karachi in the Twenty20 Cup.

"Shahid Afridi is one who appears to have a genuine reason as his father is very ill. Asim Kamal has also said his father is ill and he has to be with him. While Danish Kaneria simply told the Karachi selectors that he had taken permission from the Board Chairman to skip the tournament," a Karachi City Cricket Association (KCCA) official said here.

Naturally, the KCCA is not happy with the attitude of Asim and Danish as they felt they could have made themselves available for the six-day tournament which is being held well before the team leaves for the West Indies.

To compound matters other leading players like Hasan Raza, Faisal Iqbal, Naumanullah and Tahir Khan have gone to Namibia with the Pakistan A side while others like Farhan Adil, Asif Mujtaba, to name a few, have gone to England for league cricket.

The official said, however, former captains Moin Khan and Rashid Latif are playing in the tournament.

As a result the two Karachi teams taking part in the tournament in Lahore have generally selected such players who specialise in the shorter format of the one-day game and are regulars in the Ramazan festival tournaments that compromise 25 or 20 overs a side.
