Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ejaz Butt has said that even though Mohammad Yousuf is not the in the selectors scheme of things for Twenty20 cricket, the rebel middle-order batsman still remains a big asset for the nation in other forms of the game.

Yousuf, who turned to the unauthorised Indian Cricket League after being ignored for the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007, was not included in Pakistan's provisional squad of 30 for the second edition of the mega event in England in June.
