Islamabad United head coach Dean Jones has stated that all their selected players, including the foreign players, would visit Pakistan if the team makes it into the finals of the third edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL).

"All foreign players have shown their willingness to tour Pakistan in the PSL drafting," said Jones, during the Islamabad United press conference.

The United picked up foreign players including South African all rounder JP Duminy, leg spinner Imran Tahir, followed by West Indian superstar Andre Russell, who at the moment is serving a ban, hard hitting batsmen Luke Ronchi and Sam Billing from New Zealand and England, respectively, to form a formidable squad.

Jones further said that the Sri Lankan team's tour to Pakistan, World XI's tour and PSL final are steps towards revival of international cricket in Pakistan.

The former Australian batsman went on to praise Saeed Ajmal, who has announced on Monday his retirement from all forms of cricket.
