Yusuf Pathan not cleared for Hong Kong T20

[OpeningBatsman]

Contrary to previous report, BCCI has informed that it has not given Yusuf the NOC to play in the HK t20 League 

 

"Fact is Yusuf wanted to participate as they invited him as a brand ambassador," a BCCI official told ESPNcricinfo. "If it was a Twenty20 league, we informed him that he cannot play. We have closed this matter and he is not going."

Yes, but BCCI doesn't allow any of it's players to play in t20 leagues which could be a competition to IPL.  Sad, would love to see Indian players in BBL. Love the atmosphere.

It's good that they don't allow. Imagine if the bookies have access to the leagues.

Yes but I'm talking  strictly from a fan's perspective... :)

Defines bureaucracy perfectly. New set of magement folks have arrived in BCCI but still being governed in the same old way, with same set of laws which need to be changed. These "by the book" folks aren't conservatives but knuckleheads instead who can not understand simple facts and are sticking to their stingy attitude instead.

Might be in the minority here but I'd love to see Indian players playing in foreign T20 Leagues. BCCI really don't help themselves in some decisions.
