Should ban on ICL players lifted by Boards?

Last year inaugural ICL and IPL leagues attracted number of international players for playing, though IPL got recognized from BCCI and ICC but unfortunately ICL didn’t. Because of this different boards banned their players for international cricket as more and more international players are joining this league, I think now it’s time that authorities should reconsider their decision.

International players like Imran Nazir, Muhammad Yusuf, Abdul Razzaq, Rana Naved, Shane Bond and few other New Zealanders have joined this league by compromising their international career. These players have lot of International cricket left, and it would very fortunate if they don't play becauase of un-recognition. Now it’s inevitable that ICC and other boards should recognize ICL and lift the ban from these players.

Other day I was watching the highlights of Imran Nazir innings in ICL third final, it was absolutely magnificent and treat to watch. Just imagine the loss that Pakistan cricket will have if he did'nt played for Pakistan.
