The ministry of interior had followed the sports and foreign ministries in giving security clearance for players to travel to India for the IPL, said PCB media manager Nadeem Sarwar.
“The sports and foreign ministries had already given their clearance and we were awaiting security clearance from the interior ministry which we have got now,” he added.
The PCB had approached the government for clearance to issue Non-Objection Certificates (NOCs) to its players because the government did not permit players to visit India for the second edition of the IPL held in the middle of this year.
Relations between Pakistan and India have been at a low ebb since November, 2008 when Islamist militants killed at least 166 people during three-day attacks in Mumbai.
