The government of Pakistan has given the permission to Pakistani players for participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL) which is scheduled to be held in India in March-April next year.
Players from all countries were required to submit their No Objection Certificate (NOC) from respective boards and government by November 20, but the organisers had extended the deadline for the submission of NOC's by 10 days for the Pakistani players to participate in the third edition of the IPL.
And the Foreign Ministry of Pakistan has given the NOC to the PCB on Tuesday while the Interior Ministry also issued it on Wednesday, the PCB spokesman said.
Relations between Pakistan and India have been tensed up since Mumbai attack – which had also led to the Indian government cancelling a test tour to Pakistan set for early 2009 and freezing bilateral cricket ties with their neighbours.
Pakistan's Foreign office, had refused to allow players to travel to India due to deteriorating diplomatic and political ties between the neighbouring countries and safety concerns due to the Mumbai terror attacks.
