PCB want Pakistan players to take part in IPL
The Pakistan Cricket Board are keen for their players to participate in the lucrative Indian Premier League in 2011 despite being snubbed this year.
Pakistani players have not participated in the last two editions of the IPL due to political tensions between the two countries although in the inaugural edition in 2008 over a dozen Pakistanis played for different franchises in the T20 league that attracts players from every cricketing nation.
Last year the Indian franchises did not bid for any Pakistani cricketer at the players’ auction although the PCB had sent names of around 10 players after giving them clearance.
PCB chief operating officer Subhan Ahmed told reporters on Saturday that the board had contacted the Indian Cricket Board on the issue.
“We have written to the Indian board that we are willing to provide any clearance to our players for the IPL,” Ahmed said.
“We want Pakistani participation in the IPL, that is our official stand but obviously we need for the Indian board to talk to us.”
Ahmed said that under new rules framed by the IPL no Pakistani player could take part in the league for any franchise before getting clearance from both boards.
“No player can individually be approached or can approach any franchise now for a contract,” he said.
The Indian government has not encouraged bilateral cricket ties with Pakistan since the militant attacks in Mumbai in 2008.
