Karachi, July 29 : In a significant development, former Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq today expressed his readiness to join the Indian Cricket League (ICL).
Inzamam, who announced his retirement from one-day cricket after Pakistan's failed World Cup campaign, confirmed that ICL officials had contacted him.
"They have been in touch with me and I am considering their offer," Inzamam said, adding, "If the terms are right, I will play."
Former West Indies skipper Brian Lara has already joined the ICL, which is hailed as parallel league in lines with the Kerry Packer style circuit.
Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Stephen Fleming have also expressed their interest to join the league, which Inzamam said would be financially beneficial for those players who are in the twilight of their career.
"Players who are out of favour, or not international cricketers, or who are nearing the end of their careers will rightly see this as an opportunity to benefit financially and I don't see anything wrong with that," The News quoted Inzamam, as saying.
"For younger players too, there are rewards. Playing alongside players such as Lara or McGrath can only be a good thing for your development as a young player," he added.
