Forced to sit out this year due to Pakistan Cricket Board's objection to their participation, the Pakistan cricketers are all set to return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) next season as the Board has decided to give them the go ahead for competing in the Twenty20 tournament.

PCB chairman Ejaz Butt said the PCB would not object to its players taking part in the lucrative league and has conveyed this to IPL commissioner Lalit Modi during a meeting in India.

"I spoke to him about our players taking part in the next IPL season and have requested him to ensure that Pakistani players are allowed to play in the league next year," he said.

PCB stopped Pakistani players from taking part in the IPL as it was advised to do so by the foreign affairs ministry in the wake of Mumbai terror attacks.

The third season of the IPL will be held in India in March-April next year.
