There is no specified term in the recommendation for these two players. As and when the PCB deems appropriate, these players will be considered for selection for the national team." </blockquote> </p> http://wicricnews.com/forums/topic/262#post-687 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:43:21 +0000 matchstick 687@http://wicricnews.com/forums/ <p><blockquote><a href="http://cricket.rediff.com/report/2010/mar/10/pakistan-coach-waqar-younis-wants-pcb-to-make-reasons-of-ban-public.htm">Pakistan's new head</a> coach Waqar Younis [ Images ] on Wednesday said that the cricket board must have valid reasons to hand indefinite ban on senior players Mohammad Yousuf [ Images ] and Younus Khan but they should be made public.</p> <p>Waqar, who was last week appointed as the coach of the national team, said the decisions of the board had come as a big shock to him.</p> <p>"They were tough decisions but I think the board had a valid reason for taking them.
