 Shabbir Ahmed and Naved-ul-Hasan were barred from playing in a one-day match for the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) against the visiting Hong Kong side on May 14 due to the Pakistan Cricket Board's ban on players who have joined the unofficial Indian Cricket League (ICL).
"WAPDA named the two players in their side for the game as they are employees. But we said they couldn't play because of the board policy which has banned any players involved with the ICL from playing for Pakistan or for any domestic side in Pakistan," a senior domestic cricket official told Cricinfo.
Reacting to the development, Shabbir said: "It is so frustrating I can't play in my country. But what can we do. Even if we want to fight this ban legally we have to do it collectively."...........more..
