The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) seems to be caught in a 'catch 22 situation', as it has once again appealed to former skipper Mohammed Yousuf to come out of retirement and file an appeal against the indefinite ban imposed on him, so that it can be lifted paving his way for a comeback.

Yousuf had retired from all forms of cricket in protest against the ban and a two million rupee fine imposed by the PCB following a probe into Pakistan's terrible performance during the Australia tour earlier this year.
