Lawson arrives

Published August 21, 2007

KARACHI, Aug 20: New Pakistan coach Geoff Lawson, who arrived in Lahore on Monday night, refrained from commenting on four Pakistanis signing up for the Indian Cricket League.

The former Australian fast bowler, who was accompanied by trainer David Dwyer, was welcomed at the Allama Iqbal International Airport by Zakir Khan, the PCB’s Director Cricket Operations.

According to sources, Lawson said that he would not like to say anything about Mohammad Yousuf, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Abdul Razzaq and Imran Farhat joining the ICL. The Australian, however, said that he was willing to accommodate all those players who were available for Pakistan selection, the sources added.

Lawson is scheduled to hold a press conference on Tuesday.
