Pakistan decided against imposing fine or cooling period on former ICL players Mohammad Yousuf and Abdul Razzaq.

Pakistan would be welcoming them to the national side.

Middle-order batsman Yousuf and all-rounder Razzaq along with 17 other players had been suspended by the Pakistan Cricket Board for turning out for the rebel league.

The duo though has managed to get clearance from the ICL and is now eligible to represent Pakistan in the Test series against Sri Lanka starting on June 27.

"They have resigned from the ICL which have been accepted. The players have also submitted relevant NOC's from the ICL to us. As such the two players will now be available for national selection again," the PCB said in a statement.

The PCB decided against imposing any punishment on the duo and said it decided to deal with players on case to case basis despite the fact that both the the Indian and South African boards have announced cooling periods for its players who had links with the ICL.
