Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has conditionally allowed chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq to purchase any team in the T10 League besides allowing him to become the mentor of Lahore Qalandars.

As per details, Inzamam met with PCB chief Najam Sethi on Thursday and requested him to grant permission for the two projects.

The former captain informed Sethi that Pakistan Super League franchise Lahore Qalanders are interested in hiring him as the mentor and he is also keen to jointly purchase a team in the upcoming T10 league is the UAE.

Citing its sources, Dawn News revealed that the board has conditionally allowed Inazamam to undertake both the projects.

Inzamam was told by Sethi that during his role as mentor of the Lahore Qalandars, he will not be getting his monthly salary from the PCB, the channel added. Furthermore, Inzamam will not be allowed to sit in the players’ draft or in the dugouts like Sir Vivan Richards - the mentor of the Quetta Gladiators.

“If the PCB feels Inzamam’s services are needed for the national team during the period of the two events, the chief selector will be asked to report for national duty," according to the sources.

Apart from Inzamam, National Cricket Academy (NCA) bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed has also been allowed to coach a team of the T-10 League which will be held in Sharjah from Dec 21-24.

Similarly, Mushtaq’s salary will also be deducted during his coaching period with the T10 league team, the media outfit added.

It may be mentioned here that Pakistan team’s head coach Mickey Arthur is also the coach of Karachi Kings, PSL outfit, so it would not have been possible to restrict Inzamam from his involvement in the two projects since he is on the PCB’s pay roll as consultant.

The T10 league is being held in Sharjah next month, in which retired and current cricketers from around the world, including Shahid Afridi, Virender Sehwag, Kumar Sangakara and Eoin Morgan, are also participating.
