"I just say the Pakistan board should take its own independent decision. It should not tow the line of the Indians," Yousuf said in an interview on a popular show on Geo Super, a local sports channel. "What have they given us? They even refused to tour the country recently."Enter left, Ijaz Butt
"We suffered a loss of at least $40 million while on the other hand India lost four times more than us," Butt said. "The Sri Lanka series would help us generate just a small amount, but we do hope that the Indian cricket team tours Pakistan in the near future." Butt is keen for ties to be revived between the two, even if it is away from home. He believes Pakistan will earn at least US$25-$30 million from playing India at a neutral venue as an alternative.and this addendum, courtesy CricInfo
India's cancellation of their tour to Pakistan this month hasn't helped matters, denting the board further to the tune of at least US$40 million and though Sri Lanka has replaced them and agreed to tour, the series will raise little - US$500,000 - compared to the effect an India series has. In the past - notably 2003-04 - when the board was in financial trouble, a series against the neighbours revived the situation completely.I know that it may not be the answer you are looking for MoYo, but I hope this suffices.

First he abandons his team and joins the ICL.. then has a fallout with the ICL and re-embraces PCB saying something like.. "Pak gave me my faith, why will I abandon its team".. then he abandons the team and joins ICL. Again. For money of course. And now complains.
There shd be a name for this medical disorder.. I am sure...

Fear of commitment? "The-Grass-Is-Greener-On-The-Other-Side"itis?

The man has lost some cells surely.. today he's questioning why Malik was made captain after the World Cup and that it shud have been Younis.
He forgot that Younis was offered but he refused.
Sour Grapes..
Q,
Put a mike in front of a man.... :)

Flush him... I don't care about the ICL fascination but all the reports on his captaincy aspirations and subsequent disappointments are slowly coming through between the lines..
