Twelve Pak players for IPL auction

“None of the players has contacted the IPL through the PCB, they have done this directly themselves,” said Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ejaz Butt.

“We had told these players to contact Lalit Modi, the Chairman of the IPL, directly instead of going through us or through agents. As far as we are concerned, we have issued a general NOC from the government and ourselves to the players to play in the IPL if they manage to get contracts,” he said.

Sources said most of the Pakistani team members were in touch with Modi.
