Pak to ban players

LAHORE, August 20: Pakistan reacted sharply on Monday to four of its players joining the ICL, saying they will not be considered for future selection in the national team. "We don't know about our players signing for the Indian league but we affirm our policy of not selecting players in future in case they join the league," PCB chief operating officer Shafqat Naghmi said.
Their signing with ICL could thus end Md Yousuf, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Abdur Razzaq and Imran Farhat's international careers.Naghmi said the case would be put before PCB's ad-hoc committee in its forthcoming meeting before taking a final decision. "This is not a recognised league so we are not going to accept it. We hope that Yousuf will not join the league as he is a great player and Pakistan need his services." he said.
