Pakistan players to go to court over ban

Inzamam-ul-Haq
13 April 2012

Indian Cricket League-contracted Pakistan players are set to approach court to obtain a stay order against the ban restricting them from playing domestic games.

The Pakistan Cricket Board initially stated that players joining ICL would not be considered for national duty - but now they have also been disallowed from participating in domestic matches.

The home games ban means applies to Inzamam-ul-Haq, Abdul Razzaq, Azhar Mahmood, Imran Farhat, Shabbir Ahmed and Taufeeq Umar - and the situation has prompted them to seek assistance from court.

Opener Farhat told The News: "Cricket is our bread and butter. This is a violation of our fundamental rights.

"We will go to court and get a stay order. They cannot stop us from playing even domestic cricket."

It is believed that Razzaq, Shabbir and Taufeeq will join Farhat in the legal proceedings on Wednesday.
