There is no end to the controversy about him. Meanwhile Usman Khan got good news. There was doubt whether he would play for the UAE or Pakistan. However, last week, the UAE Cricket Board announced a 5-year ban on Usman from all cricketing events in their country, angered by the fact that he started practicing with Pakistan cricketers after the PSL.
In the meantime, Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi clarified the matter of Usman Khan today. He directly said that Usman Khan will be fit to play for Pakistan in the upcoming T20 series against New Zealand. The selectors can consider him for inclusion in the team that will be formed by Pakistan. There will be no obstacles in front of him.
Usman Khan was one of the 29 cricketers who participated in the training camp conducted by the Pakistan Army.
Despite being banned for 5 years by the UAE, the PCB chairman has confirmed that Usman Khan is eligible to play for Pakistan. He said, ‘Usman Khan is eligible to play for Pakistan and he will play for this team.’
The talk of Karachi-born Usman Khan playing for Pakistan came up after his excellent performance for Multan Sultans in the PSL. Earlier he was considered as the cricketer of the United Arab Emirates. In particular, he promised the United Arab Emirates Cricket Board that he would play for their country. But after getting the opportunity to play for Pakistan, he dropped the thought of playing for the UAE.
As a result, the ECB banned Usman Khan for 5 years for breach of contract. Under the ban, Usman Khan will not be able to participate in the T-Ten League, IL T-20 or any other cricket event of the country. In the statement given by the UAE, it is said, ‘Usman Khan has misrepresented himself to the UAE Cricket Board. He told us about his fake desire to play for the UAE. He basically took advantage of us by saying these things and used the facilities. Yet he has begun to accept outside benefits. This means, he is not actually willing to play for ECB and has failed to qualify to play for other countries.’
