The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Niranjan Shah said here on Saturday that they would seek clarifications from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for issuing no objection certificates (NOC) to former players Mushtaq Ahmed and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan to represent English county. The BCCI will seek clarification from England Cricket Board (ECB) for entertaining the two former players despite their playing in the rebel Indian Cricket League.
"We want clarifications from PCB and ECB for issuing NOCs and accepting the two players as we have a clear understanding with all the Test playing nations that they should not allow their players, who are part of the ICL, to represent any form of cricket at any level whether the players concerned has a contract with their respective boards or not," Shah told Cricketnext over phone on Saturday.
"If media reports are true and if PCB has issued NOCs to the two players to represent Sussex (Mushtaq) and Yorkshire (Naved), then we will seek clarifications from PCB and then will approach ECB as the two county sides come under the England board's jurisdiction," he added.
Yorkshire had welcomed Naved with open arms after he got a NOC from the PCB on Thursday.
It is also learnt that the England board is legally powerless to take any action in the light of the NOCs being granted by another board and BCCI will have to settle the matter directly with PCB.
