LAHORE, Sept 21: Middle-order batsman Mohammad Yousuf and all-rounder Abdul Razzaq have not received any call from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for a meeting.

Yousuf and Razzaq along with former skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq and opener Imran Farhat had joined the controversial ICL but the PCB is said to be making efforts to bring back Yousuf in its fold ever since.

However, Yousuf who reached Lahore after a preaching tour of Dir, told reporters that he had not received call from the board officials although he had no problems whatsoever in meeting them. “I am very much available for that but am yet to receive any call from the PCB,” said the prolific player.

Meanwhile, Razzaq who had earlier announced his retirement from international cricket, said on Thursday that although there was no change in his demands with the PCB, he was ready to meet the board officials to discuss his future with Pakistan cricket.
