Karachi, November 21: The PCB might have decided to give a go ahead to its players for participating in next year’s Indian Premier League, but the board is yet to approach the Sports Ministry for the government’s clearance, a must for the cricketers to be a part of the cash-awash Twenty20 event.
Pakistan Sports Minister Aftab Shah Jillani told PTI that until now the Pakistan Cricket Board had not approached the Ministry for clearance.
“The fact is that the Sports Ministry gets directly involved when a national team is supposed to take part in any event in India. But since the IPL is a private league it is a matter between the Pakistan and Indian cricket boards,” Jillani said.
“We will only be able to arrange for the clearance once the PCB asks for it.
