   Karachi, Aug 10 : Former Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas has said the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) should allow the players to play in the India Cricket League (ICL) because it is no threat to Pakistani cricket.
   
   However, he added that any player interested in joining the Essel Group's ICL should be released if his contract allowed him to join the national team whenever required.
   
   "If any Pakistani player is planning to join the ICL, I will advise him to get a clause inserted in his contract that he would be released whenever required by the national team.We agreed to play in the Kerry Packer series only after Mr Packer agreed to let us play for Pakistan whenever required," he said.
   
   "In any case, I believe there aren't many great players in the current line-up whose absence can really affect the team's performance.Probably Mohammad Yousuf is the only player whose absence in the Test team will be felt by Pakistan," he added.
   
   Reacting to the PCB's tough stance over the ICL that any player joining the parallel league will not play for Pakistan again, he said the board should not bother much about it, as any player would join it only for money.
