PCB immediately calls back home all centrally contracted players

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued immediate instructions to the Pakistan Cricket Team players who had gone abroad for the country cricket.

PCB has called back centrally-contracted players, besides the ones in contention for selection for the World XI series next month, from their ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and English county stints.

Owing to late finalisation and rescheduling of the ICC World XI series to be played mid September, the PCB has scheduled its National T20 Cup to start end August and finish before the World Series so that its national team can leave for UAE to play Sri Lanka starting September 24.
