PCB to take up snub with BCCI
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has accused IPL commissioner Lalit Modi of betraying them after none of the 11 Pakistani players got a buyer in the Indian Premier League auction and said it would take up the matter with the BCCI. PCB chairman Ejaz Butt said he was very upset with what had transpired at the players auction. “I had discussions with Lalit Modi on the participation of our players this year and he had assured me they would get a chance to play in the tournament,” Butt said. “Now we don’t understand what happened because we did everything from our side including getting government clearance to allow our players to be eligible to play in the IPL,” he said.
Sum stuns Parnell
The staggering Rs 2.74 crore that Delhi Daredevils shelled out to secure the service of Wayne Parnell has left the exciting South African pacer stunned. “I never expected this — it’s a huge sum of money!” was the reaction of the 20-year-old pacer. Parnell told the Afrikaans daily Beeld that he knew the Daredevils were interested in him after his national teammate and Daredevils player AB de Villiers had told him how much David Saker, bowling coach of the IPL side, was impressed with Parnell.
