Pakistan to ask ICC to pick ex-ICL player Razzaq

Pakistan will seek approval from the ICC to include Abdul Razzaq as an injury replacement in its Twenty20 World Cup squad, which would make him the first player to return to international cricket after playing in the ICL.

The Pakistan Cricket Board selected Razzaq on Wednesday to replace the injured Yasir Arafat. The move will have to be ratified by the International Cricket Council.

Razzaq played in the Indian Cricket League, the first Twenty20 tournament to be formed but banned by the ICC. All ICL players were banned by their respective national boards, but several of them have recently been granted amnesty after severing links with the rebel league.

Razzaq was among several players granted amnesty by the Pakistan board.
