Moin told Geo Super Sports channel that he didn't like the way Yousuf and Razzaq had offered to switch loyalty.

"It is true that ICL is facing problems and they couldn't organise their tournament in March-April. But you go through good and bad times and one expects people to behave more maturely when tested," he said.

Moin said the ICL had never stopped any player from representing his national team and it were actually the national boards that had imposed bans on the ICL players.

"I was just a bit surprised at the way Yousuf and Razzaq clamoured to offer themselves again for Pakistan and cancel their contracts with the ICL," Moin said.

"I would have expected them to be a bit more patient and show some loyalty because the ICL has been good for the players when even their national boards were not considering them for selection," the former wicketkeeper-batsman said.

Moin said he would be happy to see some of the ICL players return to the Pakistan fold but they should do it in a dignified manner.

"What Yousuf did in the past as far as his contract with ICL was concerned was not good for him or Pakistan cricket. But this time hopefully everything will be done legally and properly so they are not problems later on," he said.

Moin said he would also like the Pakistan Cricket Board to get a clear direction from the International Cricket Council on the future of the ICL players if they left the league.

"They shouldn't face a sticky situation later on with the ICC coming up with some new regulations not allowing these players to return to their national teams," he added.

Moin also claimed that Razzaq had denied saying that the ICL has cancelled contracts of the Pakistani players, rendering them free to play for anyone.

"Razzaq has denied saying this. The truth is the ICL has not cancelled anyone's contract and the money they owe to some of the players will also be cleared soon. We are all waiting to see which direction the ICL takes but we need to be patient and loyal," Moin said.

He also made it clear that every player knew what he was getting into when he signed for the ICL. "No one forced anyone to play for the ICL and every player was aware of the consequences he would face from his board," he said.
