Seven Pakistani cricketers have been drafted into the latest season of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2017, with all-rounder Sohail Tanvir becoming the most expensive Pakistani player picked in the first round of drafts.
Tanveer is in good company with cricket heavyweights like Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, David Miller and Lendl Simmons. He was a top pick for the Guyana Amazon Warriors in 2016 too.

- Sohail Tanveer: $160,000, Guyana Amazon Warriors
- Shoaib Malik: $110,000, Barbados Tridents

- Shadab Khan: $30,000 Trinbago Knight Riders
- Wahab Riaz: $30,000, Barbados Tridents

As per selection committee statement they don't want Pakistani players to play international leagues so let's see how this tuns out to be. I think they should play as long as they are not on national duty.

A little too low for Kamran and Wahab., he is definitely worth more. They both should rather withdraw.

•Mohammad Sami: $70,000, Jamaica Tallawahs is good enough for WI league but not good enough for Pakistan cricket says Inzimam. Sami is not even in the list of 31 players. Why?

Pleased to see Shadab Khan in the list. It will give him the much needed exposure to become a world-class spinner.

@Saif Khan I think you need some much deserved rest. Maybe you should follow golf.
