LAHORE, Aug 21: Test opener Imran Farhat has claimed that the biased attitude of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the national selection committee have put his career at stake, as a result of which, he added, he has decided to join the Indian Cricket League (ICL).

Talking to Dawn, Imran, who along with former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Yousuf and Abdul Razzaq signed up with the ICL on Monday, alleged that the selectors’ attitude was biased with him.

“Despite being the top scorer at the Patron’s Trophy One-day Cup and in the Pentangular Cup, the selectors have been considering me as a Test player.

“They don’t know I am also a record holder of the national Twenty20 championship, having scored 115 in an innings of the second edition of the national event in Karachi,” said Imran.

“Instead of being appreciated I was put in the list of Future Players Programme that caused me great mental torture. And as if this wasn’t humiliating enough, the selectors called me for the Twenty20 camp in Karachi, only to drop me to give another shock,” he expressed.

His reply was in negative when asked if he would review the ICL decision.

Imran reckoned the world was being globalised and people were coming closer to each other, adding there should be no problem for anyone if a player played either for a county or for the ICL.
