Inzamam for ICL?
First, there was the news that the Pakistan Cricket Board said that the new 'Indian Cricket League' venture by Subhash Chandra was none of their business.
Then, they announced a 3-tier contracted players list without Inzamam's name in the list. Did they get the wrong Ul-Haq into the list? Misbah-ul-Haq is in while Inzamam is out!
At this point in time, nothing can be ruled out with the PCB. Inzy could still make it back to the side, but if he doesn't, then the lasting image would be his tearful good-bye at the World Cup.
Assuming Inzy doesn't play any more international cricket, the Indian Cricket League seems to be the best option for him (as indeed it seems for Lara, McGrath, Warne, etc.). The PCB's statement on the issue sort of gives the game away. Maybe Inzy asked to be left out so he could play in the ICL?
If some former (Pakistani) cricketer or a player who doesn’t have a contract with the PCB decides to play in the series then we have no way to legally bound him against going to India. However, if any player contracted by us wants to go there then that would be a different case.In other news, Geoff Lawson is Pakistan's new coach. This really does leave Dav Whatmore really high and dry! I wonder what he's thinking!
