Two days after Pakistan batsman Mohammad Yousuf did a U-turn and aligned with the Pakistan Cricket Board, the organisers of the Indian Cricket League have shot a letter to him demanding explanation on his contract with them.

“Yousuf had got a letter asking him to explain reports of his being available to play for Pakistan within 24 hours as he was legally contracted to the ICL and had to adhere to certain clauses in his agreement with them,” PCB sources said.

Yousuf on Thursday had a meeting with the PCB Chairman Nasim Ashraf and later at a joint press conference announced his availability for the first Test against South Africa, beginning from Monday in Karachi. He had said the Board had assured him a secure future as a Pakistan player and he was dropping his ICL contract.
