If Pakistan wants Indian players in PSL, we can look into it: Rajeev Shukla Published: Wednesday, November 25, 2015, 13:36 [IST]
Karachi, Nov 25: IPL Chairman and BCCI functionary Rajeev Shukla has claimed that the Indian Board is open to considering any request from its Pakistan counterpart seeking permission for its players' participation in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Your guide to PSL "So far we have not got any such query from the PCB but if they do contact us on this topic we will look into it," Shukla said. The PSL head Najam Sethi has indicated that he is interested in having some Indian players in the T20 league that is scheduled to start from February 4 in Dubai and Sharjah. So far, the PCB is yet to reveal details of the league and has kept mum on the sale of broadcasting and title sponsor rights besides the five franchises. The BCCI, as a policy, doesn't allow its players to take part in any foreign Twenty20 league but Shukla said if the PCB sent them a request it would be looked into. The two boards apparently have reached a consensus on playing a short limited-overs series in Sri Lanka next month but details are yet to be confirmed. "We understand the predicament of Pakistan cricket but at same time I think the PCB needs to realise that they have to draw a line somewhere when it comes to playing its home matches in UAE," he added. He again advised the PCB to work on creating a safe venue in their country to convince other Test-playing nations that it was safe to play in Pakistan. "We would be willing to play in Pakistan at such a safe venue if the appropriate security assurances were given to us and the ICC also got gave security approval," he said. PTI
