Good decision to deny him domestic cricket? Are yo sure? How will he prove his worth, then?

Shame on PCB to do this. They are playing with players lives-PCB are crooks in the first place. They are responsible for the early termination of career of several players. This corrupt organization should be banned and replaced with a more respectable organization. People should stop watching the game for at least one year and see what happens. They have no right to block players from doing good to their country. Br. Yousef’s career was destroyed after he made the world record for scoring most runs in a year..

Sooo bureaucratic that they can dictated who will play domestic cricket and stop two most seneior players. Both need to play if the teams select them so they can gain their form.
Mohd Yosuf could have given Pakistan the best records but why he was discarded remains a mystery?

This is the only decision of PCB which i think is fair,both the players have crossed their ages but they want to haunt us till they are alive…for heaven’s sake give chance to young bloods.

I totaly agree with you OZ . Just to add one more thing to your comments that if the club is willing to offer / hire a player why is it the PCB trying dictate and closing the doors on a players? Everyone should be free to participate when they want. Incase of Yousef, why can’t he decide to take a break and re-enter the competitions? But it is all about dictating eachother where ever they get a chance to do that.
Zaka looks like an old teacher who will continue the same old tradtion of discouraging his students. More talent you show him more he will supress you. What does he know about professional cricket, by the way?

Yousuf, retire. Afridi should get one last chance to prove himself during the India tour – otherwise, lights out for Boom Boom. He has done enough for his country over the years winning many accolades with the bat and the ball. He will always be loved and respected.

Mohammad Yousuf was one of the best batsman in world cricket. However, in Pakistan we haven’t given him respect he deserved. PCCB destroyed his career, not entirely sure why.

Good decision to drop Shahid Afridi but Yousuf should have been given a chance to prove his talent.

Both these players should be allowed to play. This is non-sense- roster what roster. where this rule comes from?
