“The secretariat after signing up around 25 overseas players will also finalise a list of around 75 Pakistani players including the centrally contracted players for the auction process of players for the PSL”, he said. That’s going to kill cricket in Pakistan.
Mahmood, who played his last match for Pakistan in 2007, warned against hosting it outside Pakistan and insisted it should be held in the country even if the top players refused to come due to security concerns. The PCB chief also said that during his stay in the United Kingdom he had held some very productive talks with the officials of associate cricket boards.
PCB will not compromise on the fitness and discipline of the players and action will be taken against players and regional officials if they failed to select fully fit players, said Khan.
