Pakistan need a players' association
Mike Selvey, in the Guardian 's blog, on why Pakistan could do with a players' representative
Tim May: "From my conversations with Pakistani players, [it is] also an insider's point of view. They need something which unifies the players and that's what a players' association is.

That's good for Pakistan cricket ... " An association, and membership of Fica, can only help the renaissance of Pakistan cricket.
