Pakistan Cricket Board finally takes a tough stand on Indian Cricket League. The rumours has been making rounds about Pakistan's some key(though veteran) players joining ICL. But now The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) says it will not allow current or former players still involved with the Board to play in the unofficial Indian Cricket League."The ICL is not recognised by the International Cricket Council or its member Boards so there is no question of our players going to play there."
Rumour was that Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik had received offers days after former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq confirmed he had been approached by the organisers.
The ICL has signed former West Indies captain Brian Lara for the Twenty20 series to be played over 45 days starting in October.
Ashraf said any player who decided to play in the league would not be selected again for Pakistan.
"We have clauses in our central contracts clearly outlining the board decides where the players can play," he said. "Even where former players are concerned if they are not holding any position with the board we can't stop them. But those who are working for us will not be given permission to play in the Indian league."
Obviously BCCI is trying its best to convince the boards from other nations, to talk tough and take tough stand on joining ICL
Interesting, very interesting!
