Yousuf parting with ICL?
Mohammad yousuf and a few other
Pakistan players may be heading towards a tricky
legal wrangle with the Indian cricket league after reports have emerged that they are planning to end their association with the unauthorized twenty league and return to international cricket.
Yousuf, abdul Razzaq, Imran farhad, Imran nazir,mohammad sami and navedul hassan are the players who might walk away from the ICL, the news reported . The
Pakistan establishment ,led by younis khan, the captain, is keen that yousuf, in particular, returns to the
national team as early as next month for the one-day series against Australia starting on April 22 in Abudhabi, the report said.
Yousuf had rejoined the ICL last year after developing serious different with shoaib malik, the then Pakistan captain. But the situation appears to have changed after younis, known to be close to yousuf, because Pakistan captain this year. The news quoted sources as saying that,the breakthrough was achieved following a series of meetings between yousuf and younis.
When contacted by cricinfo,ICL officials said they have no contact with yousuf in this regard but added their contract with the Pakistan batsman enables him to play for the national team. The problem, of course, arises if yousuf and the other players insist on cutting all ties with ICL, which is what the Pakistan cricket board has insisted on if they are to be considered again for the national team. In such a situation, the ICL might take the legal route, officials suggested, particularly because Lahore Badshahs, the ICL team for which these cricketers play,is one of the main attractions of the league.
Ganguly not convinced
Sourav ganguly has made it clear that he is completely convinced about john Buchana’s multipe-captain theory for Kolkata Knight Riders, the Indian premier League (IPL) team he led year.
Ganguly claimed that he was not consulted about the plan and said he doubted whether other players in the team were aware of the new theory.
On Wednesday , ganguly had said at a press conference that he was not upset with buchana’s plan that would drastically dilute his power as a sole captain.
