Termination letter of Mohammad Yousuf Contract

 

That you Muhammad Yousaf signed, entered into and executed a contract (Central Contract) with the PCB vide Deed dated 1st January 2008 - That by doing so you bound yourself by the terms and conditions stated therein.

 

That on 3/11/08 it came to light that you had violated and breached the terms of the aforementioned Central Contract by yet again signing up and thereby agreeing to participate in the Indian Cricket League (neither recognized nor approved by the ICC and PCB) in India.

 

That through a Press Conference dated 4/11/08 you confirmed and reinforced the breach of Contract by admitting your decision to participate in the ICL.

 

That by doing so you have breached, violated and contumaciously and consciously acted in contravention of clauses 1.4.2, 2.1.1 (a) + (b), 2.2.1 (d), 2.2.2, 2.3 and 4.1 of the Central Contract.

 

In view of your misconduct the PCB acting in term of clause 13.1 read with 1.4.2 has decided to terminate your contract with immediate effect. The contract, therefore, stands terminated as of today.

 

Furthermore, the PCB hereby bans, forbids and stops you from playing any form of representative cricket (dept, association, club) in Pakistan. This ban also applies in the case of teams under PCB’s jurisdiction but playing outside Pakistan.

 

Separately, the PCB is entitled to recover from you costs (in the form of expenses) incurred by the PCB on your long drawn out litigation with the ICL. Since you by your conduct and action have deceived the PCB and compromised the very stance for which Rs one crore sixty eight thousand were spent by the PCB for your benefit all payments (if any) to you by the PCB are immediately stopped so as to offset PCB’s aforementioned expenses.

 

Furthermore, the PCB puts you on notice in terms of clauses 13.2 and 13.4 of the Central Contract for a suit for recovery and consequential damages based on inter alia unjust enrichment and breach of trust and contract.

Director General PCB
