Yousuf unhappy at missing IPL

Karachi: Disappointed at not being able to participate in the lucrative Indian Premier League, Pakistan batsman Mohammad Yousuf on Tuesday urged the cricket board here to resolve his legal dispute with the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL).

Yousuf, who will leave for England on Wednesday to play for Lancashire, was barred from playing in the IPL due to a legally binding order from an arbitrator in Mumbai.

The arbitrator ruled in favour of the ICL which had filed a petition against Yousuf for illegally terminating his contract with them. — PTI
