Humari news
LONDON: England county Yorkshire were given a major boost with news that Pakistan’s Rana Naved-ul-Hasan is available for Twenty20 Cup opener against Leicestershire at Headingley, Leeds.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) brokered a deal with Lalit Modi, man behind Indian Premier League (IPL) and lucrative Champions League, which allows all rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL) linked players to feature for their counties in domestic competition.
But Naved, whom Yorkshire are pressing to sign release papers from the ICL, would not be able to play in the Champions League event until 2010.
‘Naved has to sign a termination of his ICL contract by May 31, but we want it done before start of our Twenty20. We have sat him down, and he is committed to playing for Yorkshire,’ said chief executive Stewart Regan.
Regan was also working hard to get release from the ICL signed off from Indian end.
Naved, formerly of Lahore Badshahs, demonstrated his worth to any Twenty20 side by creaming 53 off 24 balls in last Wednesday’s Friends Provident Trophy win against Surrey at The Oval. The release from his ICL contract could also pave way for his return to international cricket with Pakistan.
