Pakistan

If it goes. Which there's not-insignificant evidence to suggest it might not.

Really harsh that Pakistan have no Tests this year, regardless of a political climate.

According to cricket next maohamad yousaf is going to make an out of court settlement with ICL which would see him turn out for ICL and thus retire from pakistani cricket.His ICL contract has prevented him playing IPL.I guess he just caved in.

It was bound to happen, they won't let him play in the IPL and Pakistan is hardly playing any cricket, so he had to look at all the options he had and the ICL option was obviously a pretty lucrative one for him.

Gross, end of Pakistan cricket as we knew it. A damn shame. **** ICL!

Zero tests in 2008.

There's no future for us in international cricket. Lets focus on the domestic market and withdraw from international cricket.

This is one of the funniest posts I've seen, truly.

Props to you sir.

0 Tests! , woeful to say the very least.

Kinda inevitable I guess, and you can't blame him.

He's getting on a bit now anyway, I don't foresee him being a colossal loss. It's just a question of if there are good enough Pakistani middle-order batsmen coming through.

What difference does it make whether there are any or not? They won't play any cricket.

Well - I'm sure they'll play some (if the PCB retain enough coherance to organise some domestic cricket) but no, sadly it's looking unlikely they'll be playing international cricket again any time in the immediate future.

Zero tests! That's just pathetic. Really feel for all the Pakistani supporters - as most have said their home tours have to be in the Emirates. Should set up a training base there ASAP IMO.

Don't you think that's a teeny bit of an unrealistic expectation?
