Meanwhile, tainted Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif have been given a reprieve by PCB which has included their names in the players draft for the PSL.

Former Test captain Butt has been included in the Gold category of the players draft while Asif has been named in the lower Silver category for the players draft that will take place in Dubai around the 18th and 19th of this month. (Courtesy PTI)
