The participation of the
Until now cricketers associated with the rebel league ICL have been treated as 'non-entities' and denied opportunities to play in other major tournaments.
The PCB by issuing 'NOC' to these players has set the cat among the pigeons and opened the door for them to play in county cricket.
In effect it challenges the very core of BCCI's 'understanding' with other cricket boards regarding the ICL players.
For the ICL ,the PCB has given them reason to believe that their tournament and their players are gaining wider acceptance.

Any Pakistani player playing in the ICL is banned from playing for Pakistan and any sort of domestic cricket in Pakistan. This ban has been placed by the PCB as per their understanding with the BCCI.
As far as counties are concerned it is a matter between the ECB and the BCCI. The PCB cannot stop any non-contracted player from appearing in counties as is the case with Rana Naveed and Mushtaq Ahmed. So whether they play for Yorkshire and Sussex or not will depend on ECB's understanding with the BCCI.
So it is indeed a test case.:)
Yep definitely a test case - but moreso for ECB vs BCCI rathen than PCB vs BCCI...
I think it would also have an effect on the IPL and the situation of English cricketers and other international choosing counties over leagues, etc.
Q,
I agree that PCB has nothing to do with this.
Yeah its between the ECB and BCCI... looks like hard-play for political lobbying.
