Karachi, July 28 : The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) policy of not allowing the World Twenty20 probables to play in Ramazan tournaments is irritating players who want match practice under their belt before future international events.
The PCB has stated that permission will be given after the One-Day International (ODI) squad is announced for the Australia series in the UAE.
However, several players have urged the PCB to let them have valuable match practice instead of training alone.
“Playing matches and being on the field is very different than training on your own or in the nets. Matches bring the best out of a player and we need this practice before future tours,” a senior member of the Pakistan squad told The Express Tribune.
Several national team players have said that the televised tournaments will also increase their chances of making a strong impression on the selectors and help them make the cut.
“The ODI squad against Australia is yet to be announced so if any player performs outstandingly, he will definitely leave an impact on the selectors,” said another player.
Ramazan T20 tournaments also allow Pakistan internationals to earn substantial amounts of money as they are given match fees and a monthly salary from clubs and departments to play as guest players.

Islamabad, July 28: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has said that Kamran Akmal was always eligible for selection in the Pakistan team and that they did not need to issue any clearance for his inclusion in the squad.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf had earlier said that the PCB had sought permission from the ICC for Kamran''s selection.
According to Ashraf, the selectors were given the go ahead to select Kamran after getting the nod from the ICC.
However, the ICC’s media and communications chief Colin Gibson was quoted as saying that selection of players for the Pakistan team was the sole responsibility of the PCB.
“The ICC has not issued any form of clearance to the PCB for the selection of any of its players and like all others who are not suspended for any reason from participating, Akmal remains eligible for selection for the Pakistan national cricket team should Pakistan decide to select him,” The Daily Times quoted Gibson, as saying.
Selectors sidelined Akmal after his name surfaced during the spot-fixing trial in London last year prompting suspicions about his links with bookmaker, Mazhar Majeed.
However, Akmal was recalled for the team’s upcoming Twenty20 assignments after he made a final appearance before the PCB’s integrity committee.

London, July 28: England wicketkeeper Matt Prior, who feared for his place in the side after suffering from Achilles tendon problems, is now looking to level the series against South Africa next week.
Prior’s struggle became so painful towards the end of the West Indies series that he was struggling to walk downstairs in the mornings.
But after having high-volume injections in both tendons, a process to flush out blood vessels around scar tissue on June 12, Prior believes his injury issues are now behind him.
“If ever there was going to be a problem with them, it was going to be at the end of the first Test against South Africa, given that we were in the field for 200-plus overs,” said Prior.
“But they feel fine and, as things stand, I am now 100 per cent. I’m right as rain and looking forward to the rest of the summer. But the whole process has been a hell of a thing,” The Daily Express quoted him, as saying.
He felt the first signs of tendon trouble during the Sri Lanka series in the early part of the summer of 2011.
Having received a thorough workout against South Africa at The Oval, Prior is confident England will give him some respite and bounce back in the second match of the three-Test series at Headingley, which starts on Thursday.
