Tainted Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt and Muhammad Asif have been given a reprieve by PCB which has included their names in the players draft for the 2nd Pakistan Super League. Both the former Pakistan players were ignored for the first PSL draft as they had just completed their five-year bans for spot-fixing. 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. But I am nervous whether any franchise will pick me," Salman Butt told PTI on Friday. The left-handed opener said he was comfortable playing in the T20 format and while being included in the PSL players draft was a big boost for him he still yearned playing for Pakistan again.
