Speaking exclusively to PakPassion.net, Pakistan and Karachi Blues pace bowler Mohammad Sami expressed his frustration at the Indian Cricket League (ICL) not paying him his dues.

"I represented Lahore Badshahs with great pride and gave my all in every single match that I played for them. The Lahore Badshahs were a huge attraction in the ICL and we played in front of big crowds wherever we went. We were a big draw in the competition and helped boost the crowds" stated the 28 year old paceman.

Sami continued "What has happened is that they have paid me some of the monies owed to me, but they have not paid me the final 3 installments that are owed to me and that were agreed in the contract that I signed with them. I believe in honesty and paying people what is owed to them. However all that I have found is excuses from the ICL organisers regarding the non payments whenever I have tried to contact them. I cant disclose to you how much money is outstanding, but its not a small amount and I sincerely hope that the ICL organisers will pay up very soon".

Sami who has represented Pakistan in 33 tests and 83 ODIs added "Its really frustrating that none of the ICL organisers are answering questions that are being put to them and instead I keep hearing about the uncertain future of the ICL and the financial difficulties they are facing".

Sami is hopeful that his NOC will be signed off soon and that he can make a comeback to the national team. "I've been in good form for Karachi Blues in the Quaid E Azam Trophy, having taken 25 wickets at just over 21 runs apiece and I hope that I can be on the plane for the Australia tour".
