The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has kept the door open for former skipper Muhammad Yousuf who has been asked to rethink about his decision to retire in order to become part of the national team.
The PCB has already given relief to five of his teammates it penalized heavily in the aftermath of a disastrous tour of Australia last year and is anxiously waiting for Yousuf’s comeback.
After retracting the indefinite ban on former skippers Shoaib Malik and Younis Khan, Irfan Qadir, an independent arbitrator hearing appeals of the banned players, has asked the board to review Yousuf's ban so that he is "treated at par with the other players in these appeals”.
In response, the PCB Chairman Ijaz Butt said that PCB has already informed Yousuf that he can play for the side if he comes out of retirement. "Yousuf has not appealed, he has retired. We have sent messages to him through others that if he takes back his retirement, he can play for Pakistan again. But he declined that offer," said Ijaz Butt.
