LAHORE: Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Rajeev Shukla has claimed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is open to considering any request from its Pakistan counterpart seeking permission for its players’ participation in the Pakistan Super League (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.
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.
“We understand the predicament of Pakistan cricket but at the 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.
“We would be willing to play in Pakistan at a safe venue if the appropriate security assurances were given to us and the ICC also gave security approval,” he said.
