The Sindh high court today lifted the domestic ban on six Pakistani players who had joined the Indian Cricket League, thus clearing 17 'rebel' players to play in local tournaments. Imran Farhat, Imran Nazir, Humayun Farhat, Taufiq Umar, Riaz Afridi and Arshad Khan thus joined 11 other Pakistani players who got a similar reprieve from the court last week, PCB lawyer Shan Gul said.
The Indian Cricket League has zeroed in on seven Pakistani players, including former spinners Mushtaq Ahmed and Saqlain Mushtaq.
Imran Nazir's brilliant batting coupled with disciplined bowing by Mushtaq Ahmed helped Lahore Badshahs thrash Delhi Giants by eight wickets in the ICL Twenty20 match in Gurgaon on Sunday night. Chasing, 105 to win, Badshahs overhauled the target with 31 balls to spare, as Nazir hit an unbeaten 60 off 47-balls.
'If they want us to announce our retirements we will do it, but we can't waste an opportunity to earn good money.'
