KARACHI, Aug 29: The Mumbai High Court will hear on Tuesday PCB appeal against the stay order passed by a Mumbai arbitrator on batsman Mohammad Yousuf, which stops him from participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Pakistan Board has filed an appeal to the High Court on behalf of Yousuf and it will be heard on September 2.

“We will be represented by advocate Iqbal Chagla in the appeal hearing in the High Court,” Tafazzul Rizvi, the legal counsel of the PCB said. He said the decision to file a separate appeal in the High Court was taken after former Pakistan captain Moin Khan changed his statement.

Rizvi said that at the last hearing held by the arbitrator in Mumbai, which was attended by him and ICL’s legal counsel, Moin said he was not an agent for the ICL but for Yousuf. “This has put us on the wrong foot and made the ICL but I am hopeful that the appeal against the stay order would be decided in our favour.”—Agencies
