He is now unlikely to play in the three one-dayers against the West Indies, the Pakistan Cricket Board said on Monday.
"His wife told us on the telephone that he has left for India today to play in the ICL," PCB director of operations Zakir Khan said.
"But we will wait for facts and figures before taking any action against him."
The PCB has a strict policy of banning all players who have joined the ICL - a Twenty20 league which is bankrolled by India's largest media group, Zee television, and not recognised by world cricket's governing body, the International Cricket Council.
Yousuf had been set to join the ICL when it was set up in 2007 after he was left out of the Pakistan squad for the World Twenty20 tournament.
But after talks with former PCB chairman Nasim Ashraf, he agreed to forego the move and remain eligible for Pakistan.
