Jelavic finally got the move he wanted and, in a day of double joy for the player, he was named in Croatia coach Slaven Bilic's 23-man squad for the Euro 2012 Group F qualifiers against Latvia in Riga on 3 September and Greece in Zagreb fourdays later.
Both are centrally contracted to the ECB, who would then decide whether they could play in the final on 22 September - fourdays after the Pakistan series ends - if Bangalore qualify.
