Shoaib Akhtar is in India to take part in bidding for players for DLF Indian Premier League Twenty 20 Championship, which will take place here on February 20. Shoaib has come here two days before the actual bidding takes place to hold talks with franchises, ahead of the bid process, which he will also attend.
He stated “My commitment to the DLF IPL is absolute. There is a lot of talk flying around players at the moment regarding the new Twenty20 competitions. I have signed with the DLF IPL and I am excited about the upcoming bid process and also finding out which franchise I will play for,” I cannot wait to be allocated to a city wand franchise. My contract with them will be a three year deal initially, so I am in it for a the long haul. I cannot wait to interact with the local fan base and become one of their ‘own’ players.”
